Some hearts hide in darkness until love dares to enter.When Shakespearean actress Faith Butler is stranded in a fading Wyoming town, she faces an impossible choice. Her young daughter is too ill to continue traveling with the theater troupe that has been their only home, and without work, Faith has no way to care for her children. Her only opportunity lies at the isolated Jagged R Ranch, where the reclusive owner is rumored to be as dangerous as he is mysterious.Scarred by tragedy and determined to keep the world at a distance, Drake Rutledge has built a life behind shuttered windows and guarded walls. Hiring a fiery-haired actress and providing a home for her and her two children is the last thing he wants. Yet Faith's courage and unwavering devotion begin to chip away at the bitterness he has carried for years.As friendship blossoms into something neither of them expected, long-buried secrets and painful memories threaten the fragile hope growing between them. And when the past returns with the power to destroy everything they've found, Faith and Drake must decide whether fear will rule their future—or whether God's redeeming love is strong enough to heal even the deepest wounds.* * *"Tender, touching, romantic." — Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author
