Colt Stafford returns to the family ranch in central Washington State. What had been a successful, high-flying financial position on Wall Street has run into a career-ending dead end. His firm had gotten victimized, along with countless others, in what looked like a sound investment but had actually been a Ponzi scheme. Colt had been hurt, as had all of his clients.
In the years since he fell out with his father, things at the ranch have changed. Angelina Morales has become the housekeeper. She’s a former policewoman from Seattle; the ranch is a safe haven for her to hide her mother and young son from vengeful criminals. She was taken in once by a high-flying financial services type, and that’s why she wants to avoid Colt like the plague.
Colt’s father, Sam, the family patriarch, is seriously ill. He’s also become a Christian and is trying to figure out how to make up for a lot of offensive decisions over the years and the time he lost with his three sons, each born of a different mother. The town, and the sons, are not easily impressed. Or convinced.

| Ruth Logan Herne |
Back in the Saddle by Ruth Logan Herne is the first of three novels in the Double S Ranch series, the second being Home on the Range and the third being Peace in the Valley (Herne must like using country western song titles). She tells a good story of broken people finding their way in the world and finding their way back home.
Herne has published almost 50 books and novellas, most of them in the Christian romance genre and many of them, like Back in the Saddle, as part of a series. She has more than a million books in print.
The tension mounts as Colt and Angelina discover a powerful attraction for each other. Each thinks the other will return to their career loves as soon as the opportunity presents itself, and it does, for both of them. Back in the Saddle becomes a story of people learning how to trust, and to love, again.
