Roaring Fork Rooker — Heather Slade

Some inheritances come with strings attached. Certain family secrets span generations. The deepest truths can only be revealed when the time is right.After my brothers each spent a year fulfilling their obligations to the mysterious Roaring Fork Trust, my stipulation seemed almost too simple—one month at a secluded ranch in New Mexico with my husband and children. But from the moment we arrived, nothing has felt quite right. The property's enigmatic owner seems to know too much about us, from my twins' favorite foods to my daughter's sleeping habits. The walls are adorned with familiar landscapes I've known my entire life, and sometimes I catch him watching me with an expression I can't decipher.With each passing day, fragments of a hidden past emerge—old photographs, preserved wildflowers, melodies that stir memories I shouldn't have. My mother died when I was three, leaving countless questions unanswered. Now, in this mountain sanctuary, I sense those answers are finally within reach—but am I prepared for what they'll reveal about my family, my inheritance, and the carefully orchestrated path that led me here? After decades of shadows, the truth is about to surface, and nothing will ever be the same.While each book in the Roaring Fork Ranch series features one couple and a guaranteed HEA, the series may be more enjoyable read in order.
