Publisher Description
A brand new, never before released standalone story in the Compass saga from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Jayne Rylon and Mari Carr.
Austin Compton has struggled to live up to the Compass legacy his entire life, afraid of disappointing his overachieving family. After dropping out of college, he convinced his parents to buy a big rig and let him contribute to the Compass Ranch in his own way.
On the open road he discovers a happy medium between the freedom he craves and the obligation that comes along with the Compton name. When he picks up some unexpected cargo in the form of a gorgeous if battered stowaway, he’s in trouble. The same reckless urges that convinced him to abandon his education are telling him to keep Hayden close and safe, maybe even teach her how to love again after the disastrous relationship she’s fleeing.
When troubled times fall on Compass Ranch, Hayden will do anything to repay the kindness Austin and his family showed her. It’s time to support Austin like he’s done for her, if her past doesn’t catch up with her at exactly the wrong moment.
Customer Reviews
A great start to a new series
I have not read any of the previous Compass Ranch series from these two authors but was excited when I saw this new series. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the story and now will be looking at reading books from the other Compass series.
This series is about the sons of the original Compton brothers and Heaven on Earth is Austin and Hayden’s story.
What’s a woman to do when her dreams turn to nightmares and she needs to escape from an abusive boyfriend? That’s the situation that Hayden finds herself in. Lucky for her she finds a rig and decides to hide out and rest.
When Austin s sees Hayden running off with his jacket, he immediately gives chase and is surprised when he tackles her to find a beautiful but battered Hayden who is obviously starving and injured.
Austin is a caring and compassionate man, brought up to treat women correctly and he is appalled by what has happened to Hayden. Slowly but surely he gains her trust and with the temptation of sharing stories about his life and family from the Compass Ranch he enticers her to return home with him to heal and decide what she wants to do next.
At the heart of this book is that family is not always blood related. Family is who you choose to have in and surrounding you; often it is those friends who become your family and that shone through in this book.
Tragedy rears it’s ugly head for both Hayden and Austin and they lean on each other to get through the tough times. I really fell for Austin, such a caring, swoon worthy and compassionate man; Haydn has been beaten down but she is determined to make it and I admire her,
When these two finally get together it was heart warming and passionate. I cannot wait to read more in this series and in fact will be looking at reading books from the other Compass series.
