“An emotionally complex romance of wounded hearts and broken trust that will touch a chord in each reader’s heart.” ~ Romantic Times

A stranger in the family.

That’s what I am right now.
I can’t exactly waltz into the Weston Ranch and say to young Pete, “Hey, I’m your daddy.”
The Westons are the only family he’d ever known. They’d probably skin me alive if they realized who I was.
And then there’s Cambria, Pete’s adopted sister. She’s beautiful, ornery … and doesn’t trust me worth spit. I haven’t felt this way about a woman since – heck, I’ve never felt this way before. And I’m not the only one feeling these sparks. But heaven help me if she finds out why I’ve really come here.

“Delightful … An inspiration to all readers.”

~ Affaire de Coeur

Cully Grainger was the one who got away. Actually, it was worse than that – Jessa Tarrant had all but pushed the man out of her life. Men like Cully didn’t show up in a town like Bardville, Wyoming every day.

So when Cully returned, no one was more surprised than Jessa. He had a chip on his shoulder and a teenage nephew in tow.

The teenager shoplifted in Jessa's store, and in their struggle to work together to help the boy, Jessa and Cully struggle to find a way to no longer be strangers to love.
