When your best friend already gives you the pleasure you crave, can anyone better it? But tough lives call for tough decisions.

Chase Truman is a man under pressure. He's got a five thousand acre ranch to manage, he's lost Blue Ridge mountain, and he can't find himself a woman. But when he stumbles upon Riff Felton, the man who stole Blue Ridge from him, and finds himself held with a gun against his head, he doesn't resist. His relationship with Riff goes way back, and soon Chase and Riff are making up for lost time, soothing each other's pain in the way they love. But something's missing. Chase wants more and thinks he'll find it in the right lady. Luckily for him, a breakdown on the railroad is about to deliver Miss Adeline Monroe into his hands, a headstrong, wealthy young woman from Boston with a very modern attitude. But is there room for two in Chase's life?
