As far as Thea Michener is concerned, it's time for a change. With her husband murdered and her much-anticipated baby stillborn, there is nothing left for her in Ladreville. Having accepted a position as Cimarron Creek's midwife, she has no intention of remarrying and trying for another child. So when a handsome Texas Ranger appears on her doorstep with an abandoned baby, Thea isn't sure her heart can take it.
Ranger Jackson Guthrie isn't concerned only with the baby's welfare. He's been looking for Thea, convinced that her late husband was part of the gang that killed his brother. But it soon becomes clear that the situation is far more complicated than he anticipated--and he'll need Thea's help if he's ever to find the justice he seeks.
Amanda Cabot invites readers back to Cimarron Creek for a tender story of loss, betrayal, and love in the majestic Texas Hill Country.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cabot concludes her Cimarron Creek Trilogy (after A Borrowed Dream) with a lovely tale that brings the series' threads together. Looking to start new lives, midwife Thea Michener and her friend Aimee Jarre relocate to Cimarron Creek, Texas. Thea is trying to escape the painful memories of her murdered gunslinging husband and the birth of a stillborn child that sent her into a deep depression. Aimee suggests Cimarron Creek because she believes it's the home of her birth mother, who she longs to find. But upon arrival, both find much more than they anticipated in the small Texas town. Ranger Jackson Guthrie looks up Thea after realizing she might be linked to the notorious Gang of Four, a gang her dead husband was rumored to run with. With the gang continuing to wreak havoc across Texas, Guthrie cozies up to Thea in order to get inside information. As Thea learns more about her dead husband's past, she realizes she never truly knew him and relies on her faith to forge a new beginning. With Aimee reconnecting with her mother and Thea finding a natural chemistry with Guthrie, both women find a happy ending. Appearances by past protagonists Warner Gray, Travis and Lydia Whitfield, and Nate Kenton will please fans of the series, though this outing's main cast is a bit slow to develop. Still, series fans will appreciate this pleasing finale.
