Echo Wells is moving to Indian Rock to start over after
being left at the altar. So with her little pink Volkswagen
she heads out to open a small town book and gift store.
Along the way she meets up with a straggly mess of a dog who
winds up becoming her travel companion. Not that Echo is in
the habit of picking up strays but she felt an instant
connection to this obviously lonely, lost dog. Echo is
looking for a place to belong and hopes that Indian Rock
will be just the place. Rance McKettrick, on the other hand,
has been spending the last several years trying to lose
himself in his work by traveling all over the world. Problem
was he was leaving behind two adorable young daughters who
missed him terribly. They were fortunate to have a caring
and devoted grandmother who stepped in when their mother
died. But it just wasn't the same. Echo and Rance were as
different as can be but they were immediately attracted to
one another. The air practically sizzled when they were in
the same room. But Rance wasn't looking for another wife and
Echo wasn't looking for another relationship where she winds
up being left behind once again. And somehow life was
creating situations that kept throwing them together so
maybe fate was playing a part or was it the magic pouches
that Echo sells. Could the pouches actually be playing a
part and live up to the testimonials on their success? Is it
time for Echo to let Rance earn her trust? And time for
Rance to break from the past and set his sights on a future
with Echo.
MCKETTRICK'S PRIDE is the second of the trilogy. Once again
the McKettrick's close ranks and help each other heal and
move on. Miller's characters jump off the page as they
seamlessly continue the family saga. Rance and his girls
will win the hearts of readers of this installment and have
them eagerly waiting for the next story starring Keegan.
And for Miller fans look for subtle references to her
practice of incorporating the past with the present. Always
a fun read and this book won't disappoint her fans.
Rance McKettrick is the rough-and-tumble, no-nonsense
equivalent of Rafe from High
Country Bride, and the only
wide-open spaces Rance wants to see in his future is his
hometown in his rear-view mirror. The down-to-earth
ex-rancher is determined to make a fresh start with his two
young daughters—and leave his heartbreaking loss and
family’s successful corporation behind.
Rance sure doesn’t need Indian Rock’s free-spirited new
bookstore owner, Echo Wells, confusing his choices and
raising memories he’d rather forget. But her
straightforward honesty and reluctance to trust is
challenging everything Rance thought he knew about himself.
When their irresistible attraction puts their hearts on the
line, Rance and Echo must come to grips with who they really
are to find a once-in-a-lifetime happiness.
