Resumen del Editor

After her sister's marriage, Michelle Stiles and her younger sister Jilly are left at Two Harts Ranch, owned by Zane Hart. They've so far managed to stay one step ahead of their stepfather and his devious plans.

Zane has his own problems, having discovered a gold mine on his property. How does he 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. Zane thinks for a smart woman, she can have some misguided ideas. Running that mine will be dangerous, and he doesn't want her exposed to what might occur out there.

But danger finds Michelle anyway when a man breaks into the house and attacks her. Able to fend him off and capture him, they realize he has ties to Michelle's stepfather. If they go to the sheriff, they'll reveal her location, but if they do nothing—their troubles have only just begun.

Good second book

For the most part, I like this series. They’re different enough for entertainment and it take place where I live! But I have a real hard time with the intonation of the narrator.  When she emotes she’s fine, but most the time she talks like she’s a robot. In fact, there are times I thought this might be an AI narration.. I felt the same way on the first book but I want to know what happens to the story enough where I will buy all three.

Fun and hard to put down!

I enjoy all of Ms Connealy’s stories, and this one is no exception! If you aren’t a fan, you should be!

The story felt rushed

I’ve read several novels by Mary Connealy. This one seemed rushed and sketchy. Still a good story. Good narration.

Very enjoyable

Another adventurous story with an excellent Narrator. The story weaves through connecting all 3 sisters and their momma. Looking forward to starting the next book.

Christian Historical Romance

Another powerful book about three exceedingly brilliant sisters, the men who love them, and God alone, who truly saves them.
This book is filled with horrible men and dastardly deeds, yet God is the only One truly in control!
The narration was superb.

This Author keeps me wanting more

I enjoy how the characters from the first book flowed directly into the second book with ease. This author keeps me wanting to read more. I hate to put the book down because I want to know what’s going to happen next. She is one of the authors that I will be following.
