Hugh is on his way to find his sister, Felicia. On the way, his horse comes up lame and he ends up at the ranch owned by Julia. Hugh keeps to himself, but he feels that Julia is hiding just as much as he is. As he comes to feel for her, he holds back the details of his past. People judge him by it even though he knows he is a new man in Christ. Even knowing that, he has learned it is better to be on his own than risk the pain of betrayal.
Julia doesn't really miss her husband. When he was alive, he abused her and punished her for not giving him a child. It's not in her nature to be trusting, but she asks Hugh to stay and help her get the cattle to market. When he agrees, she also decides to hold back. She feels that her past will push away any feelings Hugh might have growing for her.
This was a nice short read and I enjoyed it. The final book in the series, Beloved, just came out at the end of September and I have it on my watch list. I hope to find out what happened to Diana very soon. Good Book!
