Blurb:

When prodigal son Chance McCord returns home to the North Star ranch, he faces a tragic past and a family divided. When young widow Casey Girard decides to spend the summer working on the North Star near the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, she doesn't expect to meet such a man as Chance, nor to fall so completely in love with him. They both must learn to trust in each other. Can Casey's faith and love truly bring Chance home?

REVIEW:

Chance comes home to the family he ran away from to meet Casey and her son. Chance's younger brother Kyle, took over the responsibility of running the family ranch and has no intentions of letting Chance mend his ways. Can Chance earn the trust and the respect he lost? Will Casey, change Chance?

Lucy Naylor Kubash offers a real cowboy story; her intentional use of dialect is true to form and sets you on ranch with galloping horses and cowboys working alongside you. She takes you to campsites with wagons, trails rides and a beautifully descriptive view of the mountains and terrain.

The characters were fleshed out and three-dimensional. She incorporates intricate characters forming different relationships to bring a one of a kind book to the readers. From the very beginning, she promises action, suspense and the possibility of finding love among the hard working ranch and she delivers!
