Summary
Emery Dutton, John's youngest child, comes home for the holidays. Her family is still as dysfunctional as ever, and she is faced with several challenges during her time at home. She realizes that, despite the time and distance that separated her from the ranch, her feelings for Rip still haven't faded. But Rip is still pining after her sister, despite the fact that Beth only seeks his presence when she needs someone to do her dirty work or she needs someone to slake her lust. Her sister's animosity for her still lingers, though she never has figured out why Beth despises her so much. Her oldest brother, Lee, is still the ever obedient soldier to their father, following his every command and making the rest of the family look like a bunch of degenerates. Jamie is still trying to clean up after Beth and Kayce's messes in a desperate attempt to finally win their father's approval. Kayce hasn't visited the ranch since she left for college because he and her father can't even stand in the same room without it leading to a bare-knuckle brawl. And her father seems moodier and more distant than ever, piquing her interest and causing her to wonder what, exactly, it is that he's hiding from her and the rest of the family.
