A Sweet Historical Montana Cowboy Romanc

By: Kathleen Ball

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He survived two years of captivity... only to come home to heartbreak.

For two long years, Carrick McKeegan dreamed of returning to the Montana ranch, the wife he loved, and the little boy waiting for his father to come home.

But the dream is shattered the moment he arrives.

His wife is gone.

Only his young son remains.

Grief hardens Carrick's heart, and he vows never to love again. His life is now devoted to raising his son, working the family ranch, and leaving the past where it belongs.

Then Patience Ledger arrives.

Shy, gentle, and completely unprepared for life on the Montana frontier, Patience believes she's visiting old family friends. Instead, she discovers her father secretly arranged for her to marry a McKeegan.

Unfortunately...

Everyone assumes that means the elderly family patriarch.

Mortified, Patience longs to return home before embarrassment destroys her reputation. But seeing no other way to protect her, Carrick offers an unexpected solution.

He'll marry her himself.

It will be a marriage of convenience.

Nothing more.

As Patience lovingly cares for Carrick's young son and slowly finds her place within the close-knit McKeegan family, the quiet house begins to fill with laughter once again. The woman Carrick never expected slowly teaches him that healing doesn't mean forgetting—and that God's greatest blessings often arrive when hope seems lost.

But when danger from the past threatens the fragile family they've begun to build, Carrick must decide if he has the courage to risk his heart one final time.

Can a grieving cowboy and the gentle woman who never stopped believing in him discover that love is sometimes God's sweetest second chance?
