2016 RITA Award Finalist
Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that
marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a
solitary life, and avoids relationships.
When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands back in
Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his
Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and
afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her
with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results,
hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance to
run.
Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the
bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together.
Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality
begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A
glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and
regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie
like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

"Filled with genuine emotion and overflowing with positive examples
of faith, the story captures the imagination while warming the
heart." -Publishers Weekly starred review
"This is the third title in Wade's series about the Porter brothers
and perhaps the most relatable....Lyndie perseveres and keeps
riding and loving Jake in this inspirational tale about how someone
who is severely broken can become whole again."
