The moment her grandmother presses an ancient amulet into her palm, Rube Gautier's life changes. Chosen to lead a mystical life in the service of her village, she's expected to marry within the community and confer with the spirits to lead her people, but all she really wants is a normal life, on a ranch of her own far away from Oklahoma, with a man of her choosing. When she lays eyes on Mac, hope for a different future begins to blossom.
World War II hero Mackenzie Adams finds more than he bargained for at a local livestock auction. When he catches sight of the fiery redhead commanding a crowd of roughneck ranchers, his heart pounds faster than it had when he'd stormed Omaha beach. He'd never seen so much passion and so much angst in such a beautiful package. Unfortunately, she's bound to another life.
Sparks fly between Rube and Mac even as danger lurks around them. The spirits insist Rube must fulfill her destiny, and they will do what they must to see it done, even if it means taking those Rube loves away from her.
Is Rube and Mac's love enough to fight a legacy that has stood the test of time, or will Rube lose everything and everyone she loves most?
