A young widow nursing the wounds of her past…
A cowboy with demons of his own…
Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again.
Tyler Atherton has never forgotten Carissa. When he discovers she’s living with her sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes intertwined with the lovely widow’s. And Carissa’s daughter, Gloria, seems determined to wrap herself around his little finger. But while Tyler longs to provide a home and future for Carissa, he is haunted by an obligation he feels unable to fulfill.
Challenged by mounting hardships, can Carissa and Tyler preserve their fledgling love in a land as unforgiving and vibrant as the people who call it home?

My Thoughts
My Thoughts
The widow Carissa Lowe and her three year old daughter Gloria are on an extended visit with her sister, Laura and brother-in law, Brandon on their Texas ranch. Carissa makes sure she keeps a close eye on Gloria fearing the dangers of this wild country.
Tyler Atherton visits the ranch often in hopes of spending time with Carissa and Gloria.
Carissa's fears are heightened when Brandon and Tyler along with a couple of other ranchers start planning a cattle drive. The men will be gone approximately three months. For the safety of the women they are to stay at Will and Hannah's ranch while the men are gone. Hannah and Laura are expecting and the men plan the drive so they can be back in time for the birth of their children.

Tyler leaves on the cattle drive unsure if Carissa has feelings for him. He realizes she has been through some hard times and that she has a problem trusting anyone. When the drive is over he hopes they can become more than just friends.
There are always dangers on a cattle drive and with the unrest of the Indians they must stay alert. Tyler has a strong hatred for the Indians and can't seem to let go of that hate. The Lord keeps leading and comforting him in this matter. Will he ask God to give him peace and help him turn away from this hatred or will he get the revenge he wants so badly?
These families have great deal of faith and trust in God. They know God will be there for them in goodtimes and bad even though they are not with mates they will trust in God to protect their loved ones.
This book series is definitely one of my 2012 favorites! Tracie Peterson never fails to entertain and inspire me with her writing.
The Scriptures she has added all through the book touch my heart deeply. I came away with a calmer Spirit after I finished reading this book.
I highly recommend not just this book but all the books in this series.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
