The Comfort Clause

Sutton McCrae returned to Comfort, Texas, expecting to bury her father and settle his affairs.Instead, she finds herself stepping into leadership at the family distillery while a far more urgent problem demands her attention. The Cain ranch, land that’s been in Walker Cain’s family for generations-is hanging by a thread, caught in a battle that could cost his family everything they’ve worked to build.Walker has never been interested in handouts, especially from a big-city attorney who left Comfort years ago. He has enough on his plate trying to keep the ranch afloat alongside his brother without adding Sutton McCrae to the mix. But when her legal expertise uncovers a path neither of them saw coming, working together becomes their only option.What begins as a fight to save a ranch soon becomes something far more personal.As old friendships deepen into something neither can ignore, Sutton and Walker find themselves facing impossible choices, powerful opposition, and the lingering fears that drove them apart in the first place. Because saving the future may require risking the very thing they’ve both spent years protecting-their hearts.In Comfort, Texas, some legacies are inherited.But saving the ranch may require risks neither of them is prepared to take, and when powerful interests begin circling, they’ll have to decide whether fighting for the future is worth risking their hearts.Because sometimes the strongest contracts aren’t written on paper.They’re written in trust.
