Publisher Description
She didn’t plan on falling in love with a broken man. And he never expected to need her…
When Emily Nelson answers a help-wanted ad for a live-in caregiver on a remote ranch in Washington, she’s just trying to piece her life back together for herself and her young daughter. But nothing prepares her for Brad Friessen—a rugged, brooding cattleman and single father whose silence speaks louder than words.
Brad’s world has been turned upside down by his ex-wife’s abandonment of their non-verbal young son, Trevor. Resentful and angry, Brad doesn’t have time for complications—or the quiet woman who challenges him in ways he never expected. But Emily’s fierce compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication to Trevor begin to tear down the walls Brad has spent years building.
As Emily discovers the heartbreaking truth about the woman who walked away from her child, she finds herself caught in a web of secrets, betrayal, and emotional wounds that run deeper than she imagined. Just as Brad and Emily begin to heal and trust in each other, his past resurfaces—demanding everything they’ve fought for.
In a town where gossip travels faster than wildfire and forgiveness doesn’t come easy, can two strong, stubborn hearts find their way back to love—and build the kind of family they both deserve?

Loved it!!
This was a beautiful read, had me teary more than once. Thus is an emotional read and I found it hard to put down. Highly recommended.
Trigger warning for fellow Autistics
This is the ultimate Autism Martyr fantasy story, dripping with ABA endorsements, “there’s something very wrong with this child”, oh the shame and embarrassment of going out in public with an autistic child, he needs treatment just as a child with cancer does, oh yes, it’s all in there.
The ever loving ABA supporter pitched against the evil, selfish, non-maternal monster who believes ABA is abusive.
And then the misogyny! And the glorification of dv, the justification of spousal homicide.
I read it so you don’t have to, trust me it’s that bad
You won't be disappointed
