Come the spring - Julie Garwood

Adam, Douglas, and Travis Clayborne are now each happily married, much to the delight of their beloved Mama Rose. But despite their happiness, all the Claybornes have begun to wonder on which side of the law their restless brother Cole will land. Then an elusive stranger, who has slipped in out of their lives, reappears at the Clayborne reunion. Daniel Ryan is a hard man set on vengeance, an US Marshall driven by a tragic loss from the past and Cole is lured into a shadowy chase which will bring unexpected turns to Cole's uncertain future. Ryan's quest for vengeance leads him both to Cole and to a beautiful young woman - the sole witness to a terrible crime - whom he unwittingly draws into the line of fire. The power and the drama of their passion, entwined with the surprising choices of the wayward Cole, make COME THE SPRING as poignant as it is unforgettable.
