Description
An ex-Marine and an Army nurse discover the strength to love again on a Wyoming ranch—from the New York Times–bestselling author of Wind River Undercover.
After a harrowing tour of duty in Afghanistan, Army nurse Lily Thompson escapes to Wind River Ranch to find herself once more. Working as a caregiver to foreman Jake Murdoch's elderly mother, Lily almost feels at peace—except for the unsettling presence of Jake, a tight-lipped, intimidating man everyone calls Bear. But one look in the powerful ex-Marine's eyes and Lily glimpses a vulnerability that shakes her soul: a hurt she understands all too well—and longs to heal . . .
Jake is ready to rail at the fates when Lily moves into his home. Everything about this captivating woman calls to him, demanding that he abandon his solitary stance and start to live again. But Jake is a man who knows that no one can save him from the past that stalks his heart and mind. Not even sweet, achingly beautiful Lily. Still, that doesn't stop his longing to pull her into his arms—and keep her there forever. Will time, and patience, bring them the courage to make their connection real?...
Seventh in the series!

Two military veterans find solace with each other in McKenna’s moving seventh Wind River Valley contemporary (after Wind River Lawman). Former Marine Jake Murdoch is a gruff solitary ranch foreman at Wyoming’s Wind River Ranch, owned by Maud and Steve Whitcomb and staffed by veterans. As Jake’s mother, Jenna, has broken her hip and needs care during her convalescence, Jake agrees with Maud’s plan to temporarily move Jenna and a caregiver into his ranch cabin. Maud hires Lily Thompson, an RN and Army vet who volunteers at the Whitcombs’ no-kill animal shelter, to be Jenna’s nurse. Lily has a kind and caring nature, and is wracked by terrible memories of her military service in Afghanistan. Her emotional wounds start to heal as she cares for Jenna and helps with the cooking at Jake’s cabin. As Jake and Jenna begin to trust each other, their PTSD symptoms lessen, and they must decide whether they can face the demons of their pasts and embrace the possibility of a future together. McKenna is spot-on with her portrayal of military veterans facing PTSD in this heart-wrenching story of warmth, friendship, and love’s healing powers. Agent: Claire Gerus, Claire Gerus Literary.
