About this ebook

Haunted by past mistakes, he yearns for her love. Tormented by her previous decisions, she believes herself unlovable. Will they dare to trust each other and in their growing love?

For two years, Declan O’Rourke has dreamed of reuniting with his family. After a tumultuous time away from Fort Benton and scarred by betrayal, he desires peace and the opportunity to heal a broken heart. Tired of deception, he yearns for the simple, forthright life he remembers with his close knit family. However, he does not expect to meet Lorena Mortimer upon his return. Or to covet all he believes he must forever forego for the sake of the one he most loves.

Lorena Mortimer finds Declan O’Rourke fascinating. Irritating. And too handsome for her own good. She’s reconciled herself to her life as the spinster eldest sister, but Declan’s return upends all of her plans. And rekindles dreams she believed lost to her years ago. She resents his ability to stir to life her girlish fantasies of the life she wished she could live. A life she knows is forever out of reach.

When misfortune threatens Lorena, Declan must confront his greatest fear or risk losing Lorena forever. Lorena has to learn to trust again and to believe fate will be kinder this time as she dares to believe she deserves a second chance at love.

Will they have faith in the love growing between them or will they allow fear to keep them apart?

Ratings and reviews

Two wounded souls find each other in this book as Declan and Lorena meet and work together. They have both made mistakes and are paying the price for the choices they have made, but as they discover, there are few errors that cannot be pardoned with the right attitude. This novel is part of a series and to some degree the stories do overlap and although this one is a standalone, it does help to have some understanding of the background to the plot. Old enemies appear once more and spiteful characters make their voices heard, bringing destruction in their wake. However, Declan and Lorena discover that there is a lot to be said for honest communication between a man and a woman. The book is well-written and somewhat suspenseful and although Declan and Lorena's story does come to a happy and successful conclusion, the series is far from over. I received a copy of this novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

About the author

Ramona is a historical romance author who loves to immerse herself in research as much as she loves writing. A native of Montana, every day she marvels that she gets to live in such a beautiful place. When she’s not writing, her favorite pastimes are fly fishing the cool clear streams of a Montana river, hiking in the mountains, and spending time with family and friends.

Ramona’s heroines are strong, resilient women, the type of women you’d love to have as your best friend. Her heroes are loyal and honorable, the type of men you’d love to meet or bring home to introduce to your family for Sunday dinner. She hopes her stories bring the past alive and allow you to forget the outside world for a while.
