Legacy of Honor

He's been raised to carry on the legacy.
Riley Stratton has it all, or so it seems. Growing up as the youngest son of the rich and powerful John Stratton, Riley stands to inherit a legacy of greatness in the Stratton Ranch-as long as he does things the Stratton way. On the surface, his family looks like they have it all, but manipulation, deceit, and an ever-present quest for power leave him desperate for change.
After her mother's untimely death, Emma Monroe's dreams to become a teacher are dashed. She takes a job as maid and cook at the local Stratton Ranch, where she endures humiliation and hardship in order to provide for her ailing father and younger brother. Only Riley Stratton, her childhood friend and heir to the Stratton fortune, sees her heart. When she's asked to care for Skye, the young half-Indian girl most family members refuse to claim, Emma finally finds the purpose she craves.
As Riley and Emma choose between honor, dreams, and expectations-not to mention the love they can no longer deny-their first steps prove how quickly the situation can spin into danger. When their best efforts threaten the lives and hopes of those closest to them, it becomes clear the decisions they make will change the course of their lives forever.
