Love of a Stranger — Sally Campbell Repass

This story takes place on the 'Lazy L Ranch' in Casper, Wyoming. Cody and Rachel Larson have two sons, Conner (29) and Cole (27). Conner was the loyal son, while Cole left the ranch and spent seven years in California. While there, he fell in love with Grace Turner, whom he dated the whole time he was there. She grew tired of waiting for a marriage proposal from Cole, and decided to move on with Rock Star, Mike Hunter. Broken-hearted, Cole left California and moved back home to the ranch. It was as if the Prodigal Son had returned. With the return of Cole, Conner felt unloved, so he left home on a whim. Would he leave the ranch forever or would the love of ranching draw him back home? Would Cole get over Grace and move on? Would there be another love in his future?
