About this ebook

In the quiet safety of the Bluebird Ranch, old promises resurface and unexpected love brings new hope.

Though tragedy has wrecked her life, Allie Siders holds on to the hope that her five-year-old daughter, Betsy, will speak again. But with a stalker out for revenge, all Allie can think about now is their safety. She must sever all ties and abandon life as she knows it. She heads to the peaceful Bluebird Ranch, nestled deep in Texas hill country, and to the only person who can help them.

The ranch is a sanctuary for abused horses, and also for troubled youths: the perfect place for Betsy to grow and recover. Ranch owner Elijah DeAngelo eagerly welcomes the duo. But Rick Bailey—the ranch foreman and DeAngelo's right hand man—hasn't decided to let his guard down . . . yet.

Promises made long ago soon force Rick and Allie to work together to escape danger. Will they discover love along the way?

Ratings and reviews

This book was just completely out there. I love fiction but right from the start, the coincidences in this book were just to far fetched for me. Three of these seriously intertwined characters really randomly ended up in the same location? She also focused too much on things that really weren't important to the plot and didn't spend enough time on things that I felt were important to the growth of the characters (i.e. counseling). I'd love to elaborate but I don't want to post spoilers.

I feel in love with this book. It is so well written and can really show us what helping others can do. Also how important complete honest in families is all about. Highly recommend this book. Anxious to be able to find more of her books

Disappointed. Not very well written. Has a good story line, but the author didn't take enough time on it. Feels rushed and disjointed.
