About this ebook

In Arizona’s desert, a girl who needs her father, a woman who needs forgiveness, and a war hero who needs healing form a family: “Touching . . . well-written” (Publishers Weekly).
 
Before he left for Afghanistan, Jake O’Reilly had everything—a beautiful wife, a baby on the way, a wonderful life. Three years later, his wife is dead and he is so haunted by his memories of war that he can’t bring himself to go home. But when his wife’s grandfather tracks him down and persuades him to come work on his ranch, where Jake’s daughter is living, he agrees—even though he is reluctant to expose his little girl to the man he’s become.
 
At Flying Cloud Ranch, his daughter doesn’t even recognize this brooding stranger. But the beauty of the ranch and the immediate connection Jake feels with his wife’s cousin Kira slowly begins to heal his wounds. Though he doesn’t want any complications, he finds himself impossibly drawn to the tough woman who runs a horse therapy program for troubled teens. And as they each begin to imagine a new future, they discover that happily ever after is always within reach—if only you are willing to open your heart . . .

Ratings and reviews

Jake O'Reilly once had everything ... a beautiful wife, a baby on the way. And then he left for Afghanistan. Three years later, his wife is dead, and his daughter is being raised by Kira, his late wife's cousin. He suffers unimaginably with PTSD and for that reason has stayed away from his daughter and the only family he has known. His wife's grandfather tracks him down and talks him into coming back and working on his ranch. Kira now runs a horse therapy program for troubled teens. This is a terrific story ... a story of love, forgiveness, hope, and conquering personal demons. But will love and support be enough to help this man calm his fears, and learn to deal with his PTSD? Will Kira find forgiveness within herself? Janet Dailey is known for her well written love stories. This one is that and more. The reader can't help but feel the emotions from her characters. The issue of PTSD is handled with the precision of someone who has been there. Of secondary note is the characterization of the troubled teens. They are all damaged in one way or another, but under Kira's tutelage, and with the horses, they are learning lessons that will follow them the rest of their lives. Many thanks to the author / Kensington Books / Zebra / NetGalley who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had all the emotions, drama and romance that make a good book.

love Janet Dailey!!!
