New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson explores the history of the beloved Coulter Family with this timeless tale that will make you believe in the power of loveâĶ
Â
The year is 1889, and Rachel Hollister hasnât set foot outside her house in five years. Ever since a savage attack left her family dead, sheâs cordoned herself off from the outside world, afraid to let anyone into her homeâor into her heart. But now trouble has appeared on her doorstepâand suddenly she has no choice but to let a handsome rancher invade her well-guarded existence...
Â
Confirmed bachelor Joseph Paxton grudgingly offers to take up temporary residence at the Hollister ranchâeven though itâs obvious that Rachel doesnât want his protection. But once he catches a glimpse of his beautiful young ward and her remarkable spirit, heâll do anything to make her see the refuge heâs offering in his embraceâand the splendor that exists beyond her front door. Otherwise heâll just have to build a safe haven big enough for the both of them.Â
