Synopsis

Widow Rachel Boyd struggles to keep her ranch afloat and provide for her two young sons, though some days it feels as though her efforts are sabotaged at every turn. When her cattle come down with disease and her sons' lives are endangered, she must turn to Rand Brookston, Timber Ridge's physician and reluctant veterinarian. While Rachel appreciates his help, she squelches any feelings she might have for Rand--her own father was a doctor and his patients always took priority over his family. Rachel refuses to repeat the mistakes her mother made. But when she's courted by a wealthy client of the local resort, she faces a choice: self-sufficiency and security or the risk inherent in the deepest of loves.

From Booklist

As Alexander continues her loosely connected Timber Ridge Reflections series (Beyond This Moment, 2009), recent widow Rachel will stop at nothing to fulfill her and her late husband Thomas’ dream of raising their two boys on a successful ranch in the wilds of rugged Colorado. But despite her determination to continue on her own, Rachel finds herself at the mercy of others. And Rand, who rejected the family cotton business to become a medical doctor in order to help others, finds that there is always an obstacle to overcome. Together Rachel and Rand must face their deepest fears and muster up the faith that neither of them realized they had. Alexander exposes pain and loss, then paints a picture of true redemption and trust. In her iron-willed characters we find the rugged individualism and courage that the people of the American frontier are known for, and fans of inspirational historical fiction will be moved by how friendship turns into desire. --Elizabeth Ponder
