About this ebook

Don't mess this up. After a tragic accident leaves him the legal guardian of his young nephew, Dane Baylor finds himself with his hands full juggling parenthood with running his family’s cattle ranch. Desperate not to betray the trust his brother put in him, he reaches out for help.

Never put down roots. It’s the hard, fast rule that has kept Ren Maddock and her teenage sister one step ahead of a childhood they’d rather forget. It’s always been an easy one to follow…until Ren replies to a job ad for a homemaker.

For the first time in years, Ren feels like she could believe in happily ever after at the Baylor Ranch with a cowboy who makes her heart sing. But when her past comes knocking, threatening her new family and her new life, she’ll have to make the choice to run again or stand and fight for everything she holds dear.

This book is a part of the Hearts of Three Rivers: The Baylors series. Each book stands alone as a complete read, but features appearances from other family members who may have their own story to tell in a different book. Amity’s stories can best be described as ‘sweet western heat’, and contain open door bedroom scenes, but no frank language.

great story, great characters. the only disappointment was the use of God's name as a curse word. I pray the author meets Him.

A wonderful, heart-warming, tender story that I just couldn't put down as soon as I read the first paragraph until I finished reading it, end to end! So happy for the outcome at the end of the story for Ren and Dane after Ren had suffered and been put through so much by her cruel, hate-filled mother. Thanks so much for a great read!

Finding a family to love while working on a ranch is a dream come true for Ren, but will her past catch up with her and destroy everything?

About the author

I live in New Brunswick, Canada, on a multi-generational hobby farm with my parents, my husband, and my young son, as well as a flock of sheep, a herd of goats, too many herding dogs, several barn cats, and my three horses.

I’ve loved telling stories my whole life and could even be found telling them into a tape recorder in my grandmother’s basement before I could write them. They always included kissing!

I strive to write real, sincere characters that exemplify the small-town sense of community and family I grew up in.

I am deeply inspired by the magic of Peter S. Beagle’s writings (The Last Unicorn changed my life) and had the privilege of meeting him in May 2014. He was impossibly charming and delightful and left a lasting impression on me.

I love critters, cowboys, and coffee (the order of which depends on the day you ask me), and I still believe in unicorns. I hope you enjoy my books!

xoxo,

Amity
