With Laura married off in book one, this book opens with Michelle hiding out at Zane’s ranch and pestering him to let her manage the gold mine the girls found on his ranch.
“But honestly, I want to manage everything. The whole world would run better if they put me in charge.”
“Life on a ranch wasn’t as exciting as blowing up mountains.”
Zane is a fantastic hero, and I loved seeing his relationship with Michelle change and grow. I loved his sense of honor and his love of family. I chuckled and laughed out loud at some of his thoughts and ideas.
“Except for taking care of three babies, Michelle wasn’t doing anything.”
“Don’t talk too much about being kind to the cows you’re planning to eat. It doesn’t exactly ring true.”
With plenty of action, adventure, suspense, humor, and sprinkles of romance and inspiration, this book is a fun addition to this creative series. I can’t wait for Jilly’s story coming up this fall.

BackCover Blurb:
Her heart seeks safety. But will trouble find her even here?
After
her sister's marriage, Michelle Stiles is left hiding at Two Harts
Ranch with the handsome but stubborn Zane Hart. She's managed to stay
one step ahead of her stepfather and his devious plans, but if he finds
her, she will no longer be safe.
Zane has problems of his own.
Having discovered a gold mine on his property, he must figure out how to
harvest it without kicking off a gold rush. Michelle, educated and
trained to run her father's business, wants to manage all aspects of the
mine, but Zane thinks for a person so smart she can have some misguided
ideas. Running the mining operation will be a dangerous job, and he
can't risk putting her in harm's way.
But danger finds Michelle
anyway when she's suddenly attacked. If they go to the sheriff, they'll
reveal her location, but if they do nothing . . . their troubles have
only just begun.
