MILITARY ROMANCE • SMALL-TOWN ROMANCE • PEN PAL ROMANCE

A Heartwarming Romance About New Beginnings, Written Words, and Love Across the Miles

What does a tattooed chick from Philadelphia know about being a rancher? Absolutely nothing. But that's about to change.

Willow Crawford never knew her father until his lawyer called with news of his death and the shocking revelation that she's inherited his Wyoming ranch. Divorced and ready for a fresh start, she's trading city life for wide open spaces—if she can figure out how to make it work.

Staff Sergeant Nathan Casey stopped looking forward to mail call after losing his family in a devastating accident. Then he receives a letter addressed to "Any Soldier," signed by "Wannabe Rancher," and suddenly he's captivated by the fascinating woman who makes him smile again.

As Willow settles into small-town Wyoming life and uncovers secrets about her father's past, her feelings for her soldier pen pal grow stronger. But will the attraction they've built through words survive when they finally meet face-to-face? Or will she risk her heart only to discover that some connections are meant to stay on paper?

Ratings and reviews

I’ve never met a Samantha Cole book I didn’t enjoy, and this is no exception. With JB Havens (another of my favorite authors), she’s transported the reader to Antelope Rock and allowed us to feel part of Willow and Nathan’s story. There are tears, there are heartwarming moments, and above all there’s a good story that leaves you sorry it has to end.

This was such a beautiful romance. Willow and Nathan's story packs a powerful punch. There are so many elements in play here that are incredibly easy to relate to. Heartbreak, loss, pain, having to start over and simply learning about yourself along the way are all things we've experienced and that is what really makes it just so easy to fall for these two. Filled with heart and rich with emotion, this heartfelt romance will move you deeply as it leaves you swooning.
