"She hadn't minded the quietness. She'd learned over the
years that wounded creatures often required more time and patience
before being willing to trust. And she sensed Brody needed an extra dose
of time and patience."
Veterinarian Savannah Marshall is a
runaway bride. Escaping a marriage that is riddled with doubts, Savannah
pushes herself higher into the Colorado mountains; away from her
father, away from her betrothal, away from all the expectations
surrounding her future, and straight into the remote town of Fairplay,
where she meets a man who changes her notions about . . . well,
just about everything.
"Brody might have survived the war
physically, but it damaged part of his soul.", Linnea McQuaid tells
Savannah. Brody's family has taken a liking to Savannah, especially
after his older brother Flynn notices the calming effect Savannah has on
Brody while handling a wounded animal together. At least Savannah has
secured gainful employment, albeit temporary, on the McQuaid ranch,
while building up her reputation in the area. It's pretty obvious that
Brody has a God-given gift with horses, and Savannah loves his passion
for saving the area's beautiful wild mustangs. But there's another kind
of passion brewing that Savannah has no idea how to manage.
If
you have ever visited Colorado, this setting sets the stage for a
virtual vacation (or perhaps, picnic???) across the majestic Rocky
Mountains with their snow-covered peaks (even in the summer) and miles
upon miles of ranch land along their base; clear rivers and streams, and
the most beautiful sunsets. But the weather changes quickly . . . which
Savannah and Brody are about to find out.
Enjoy this over-the-top-and-back-down-again romance!

BackCover Blurb:
They share a passion to heal what is broken, but it's their own hearts that need to be made whole.
Brody
McQuaid is a broken man, and he knows it. While his body survived the
war, his soul did not. Besides loving his little niece, his only sense
of purpose comes from saving the wild horses that roam South Park.
Ranchers in the area have taken to killing the horses, which are
competing with their cattle to feed on the open grass.
Savannah
Marshall is a veterinarian on her family's Colorado ranch. She longs to
keep her father happy following the tragic death of her older brother,
including marrying a man of his choosing. But days before her wedding,
she gets cold feet and disappears to South Park. As she learns more
about the destruction of the horses, she joins Brody in an attempt to
save the wild creatures. But when Savannah's family and the resentments
of the area cattlemen catch up with them both, Brody and Savannah will
have to tame their fears if they've any hope to let love run free.
