Summary
Ian Gallagher was living the dream—two beautiful daughters, a husband who adored him, and a successful career. Until tragedy struck… and his world turned upside down.
Having spent more than a third of his life behind bars, Mickey Milkovich is struggling to figure out how to move forward—trapped by his history, scared to dream of a better tomorrow.
When their worlds suddenly collide, after years apart, can their shattered hearts build something solid together?
This is a canon divergent story, that will feel like an AU, right up until it doesn’t.

Summary
Mickey Milkovich returns as foreman of Wallace Ranch after serving two years in prison to find the place falling apart. His brothers have made a mess of their cowboy duties, they're facing financial ruin, and there's a shady developer with his eyes set on the Gallagher's land.
Mickey has to go back to fix things.
But he's not going back for Ian. That part of his life is over and he won't be drawn back in again. Nope. No way.
(Or Mickey as a cowboy!)
