      He starts the trip a single dad...

      Will he find a wife on Mercy Ranch?

      Returning home to confront his father about the past, single dad Carson West never expects a reunion with his childhood sweetheart. Kylie Baker thought she was content working at the ranch for wounded warriors…until Carson and his kids arrive. Now the widowed veteran’s yearning for everything she thought she couldn’t have—a lasting love and a forever family.

      BRENDA MINTON lives in the Ozarks with her husband, children, cats, dogs and strays. She is a pastor’s wife, Sunday-school teacher, coffee addict and sleep deprived. Not in that order. Her dream to be an author for Harlequin started somewhere in the pages of a romance novel about a young American woman stranded in a Spanish castle. Her dreams came true, and twenty-plus books later, she is an author hoping to inspire young girls to dream.

      She knew the truth too late.

      Carson and his children would be too easy to love. She had to get away.

      “I’m going to town. There’s the…” Think, think. “Stuff. At the…feed store.”

      Carson quirked a brow. “Maybe I’ll go with you. The kids and I need some…stuff, too.”

      She wanted to protest. But the challenge in his eyes wouldn’t let her.

      “I’ll go get ready.”

      She turned to leave, but he reached out for her. “Kylie, we really don’t need anything in town.”

      She knew that. He’d been teasing, trying to get the best of her. And just for a brief moment she’d hoped he wanted to spend time with her.

      She might have been the first girl he kissed, the girl he promised to always love, but, she reminded herself, she wasn’t the woman he married.

      She realized her mistake. She’d been thinking of him as that boy she’d loved. He wasn’t. Not anymore.

      She had fallen for a memory.

      And the memory had turned to hope.

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you enjoy the first book in the Mercy Ranch series. Mercy Ranch and the characters who live there are already favorites of mine, and I hope they’ll quickly become your favorites, too.

      Carson and Kylie share a very broken past and they come together still searching for a way to put their lives back together. What they find as they try to maintain their separate lives is that God has always had a plan for the two of them. And that plan has brought them both to Mercy Ranch!

      Thank you for taking this journey with me to Oklahoma. I continue to be uplifted by your many emails, messages and kind words.

      Blessings,

       Brenda
