\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLyla Meyers\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHer father\u2019s illness also brings Lyla back to Willow Ranch after many years away. Unlike her brother Lee, she is very shy and easily rattled. Her need for harmony and her naivety don\u2019t always make life simple for her.\n\nLyla is always on hand and willing to help. At the same time, she is always anxious to please everyone and not disappoint anyone. She has a very close relationship with animals, even of the wild variety. Her closeness to horses goes beyond even her familiar relationship with other animals. Once in the midst of nature, she becomes aware of a gift that was previously deeply hidden.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWith his love of the outdoors and his sense of duty and loyalty, Nick is a cowboy through and through. For a go-getter like him, Willow Ranch is more than just a place to work. It becomes his home. Nick is a hothead who often acts on impulse and, particularly when it comes to his personal life, his jealousy is often bubbling just below the surface. His close ties to Willow Ranch deepen in the second volume.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe rodeo rider is a happy-go-lucky guy and a friend who would go through thick and thin with Lee. His carefree and warm nature makes spending time with Chuck always a pleasure. He is bubbling over with ideas, he\u2019s courageous and he\u2019s definitely willing to take risks.\nHis experiences in life have left their mark, however. Where once there was a carefree spirit and a glint of mischief in his eyes, Chuck now appears somber, dismissive, and sullen. \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
