From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas
comes
the first book in a compelling, emotionally resonant
series
set in a remote west Texas town—where family can be made
by
blood or by choice
Rancher Staten
Kirkland,
the last descendant of Ransom Canyon's founding father,
is
rugged and practical to the last. No one knows that when
his
troubling memories threaten to overwhelm him, he runs to
lovely, reclusive Quinn O'Grady…or that she has her own
secret that no one living knows.
Young Lucas
Reyes has his eye on the prize—college, and the chance to
become something more than a ranch hand's son. But one
night, one wrong decision, will set his life on a course
even he hadn't imagined.
Yancy Grey is
running
hard from his troubled past. He doesn't plan to stick
around
Ransom Canyon, just long enough to learn the town's
weaknesses and how to use them for personal gain. Only
Yancy, a common criminal since he was old enough to reach
a
car's pedals, isn't prepared for what he
encounters.
In this dramatic new series,
the
lives, loves and ambitions of four families will
converge,
set against a landscape that can be as unforgiving as it
is
beautiful, where passion, property and pride are worth
fighting—and even dying—for.
When you stop and think about it, Texas is such a big state, and there's been so many books written about this state. Each Author that writes a book, chooses their section of the state, and it's obvious, because the book has its' own distinct flavor. There might be cowboys involved, yet, no two books are alike. I'm looking forward to reading your latest book, since there's something "cozy" about the way you write your books. It's like being around an old friend, and I don't mean that as an insult. Your latest book should be an interesting read, and I'm sure it's going to do well. Congratulations on your latest book, as well as on all of your awards!! (Peggy Roberson 10:25am August 25, 2015)
