About this ebook

An ex-Marine and an Army nurse discover the strength to love again on a Wyoming ranch—from the New York Times–bestselling author of Wind River Undercover.

After a harrowing tour of duty in Afghanistan, Army nurse Lily Thompson escapes to Wind River Ranch to find herself once more. Working as a caregiver to foreman Jake Murdoch’s elderly mother, Lily almost feels at peace—except for the unsettling presence of Jake, a tight-lipped, intimidating man everyone calls Bear. But one look in the powerful ex-Marine’s eyes and Lily glimpses a vulnerability that shakes her soul: a hurt she understands all too well—and longs to heal . . .

Jake is ready to rail at the fates when Lily moves into his home. Everything about this captivating woman calls to him, demanding that he abandon his solitary stance and start to live again. But Jake is a man who knows that no one can save him from the past that stalks his heart and mind. Not even sweet, achingly beautiful Lily. Still, that doesn’t stop his longing to pull her into his arms—and keep her there forever. Will time, and patience, bring them the courage to make their connection real?...
 
Seventh in the series!

“McKenna is spot-on with her portrayal of military veterans facing PTSD in this heart-wrenching story of warmth, friendship, and love’s healing powers.”—Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

Home to Wind River is the 7th book in the Wind River Valley series. Each of these books can easily be read standalone. This story brings Lily Thompson to the ranch. A place that helps veterans ease back into civilian life. The vast majority suffer from PTSD and because of this Lily fits right in. A veteran herself she too suffers from the effects of PTSD and finds being among others helps as she tries to fight the demons away. She doesn't come to Wind River Ranch to work on the ranch itself. Rather she's a nurse providing care for the foreman's mother. Jake Murdoch finds himself drawn to Lily instantly and it seems these two are just what the other needs to get their lives on track and really start living again. Well done book and one I think everyone will enjoy. I recommend it.

A gripping and loving romance.
