The Rancher's Resilient Heart

Apple Valley Ranchers Book 2, clean contemporary western romance

Come to Apple Valley, a small town that has existed on handshakes and morals for generations.

Evan McClure is a combat-wounded veteran rancher who wants to reclaim his position on his family’s ranch. But getting back in the saddle proves dangerous. After recovering from being thrown and snake bitten, he agrees to one last surgery. But if this one doesn’t work, he’s out of options.

The last thing Evan wants is to be stuck inside, behind a desk, keeping the Three M Ranch accounts while other cowboys do the real work.

Libby Halverson is a lonely physical therapist who wants to put down roots. When she’s contracted to work for a wealthy ranching family, rehabilitating the rancher’s oldest son, she must guard her heart. She’s been secretly in love with Apple Valley’s golden boy since they were in Sunday school.


Libby’s gotten good at protecting her heart but keeping everyone at a distance has cost her happiness. Maybe love is a matter of faith over fear?
