A single mom. A bachelor cowboy...
and an inheritance forcing them to share Three Brothers Ranch
According to the will, single mom Tina Kemp’s stepfather left her his house, but his nephew, Wyatt Smith, inherited the ranch—including the land the house stands upon. With neither willing to give up their legacy, they must find a way to make it work. Can these adversaries possibly share a home...without falling for each other?

“Don’t you ever want to marry again?”
Tina shook her head. “How could I be sure it wouldn’t turn out like the first time?”
“You have to trust yourself,” Wyatt said. “You have to believe you won’t make the same mistake twice.”
She rolled her eyes. “Do you think I haven’t prayed about this? For so long I believed that no self-respecting man would want me.”
“How could you possibly believe that no man would want you?”
She lifted her shoulders, muttering, “My mother was very beautiful.”
“So are you.”
She stared at him skeptically. Suddenly, everything changed. His gaze seemed targeted on her face, and her own heartbeat stuttered to a stop.
Oh, how she wished he was not so disturbingly attractive. That coupled with his kindness and his strength made him very nearly irresistible. But she didn’t need that.
She didn’t.
She didn’t need a man in her life. Not even a man like Wyatt Smith.
Most of us have had to start over at some point in our lives. This world often throws us curves and catches us unaware. Nothing, however, catches God unaware. Even when our own poor choices cause us to start over, He is ready with a plan. We can rest assured that He never allows anything into the lives of His children that will not serve the best interests of all involved. Of course, we must exercise our free will and get with the program.
That’s what Tina and Wyatt find themselves doing, struggling to get with the program. It’s clear they each must start over in life and where that new start should begin. Just how intertwined their new lives should be, though, is a mystery—until they get their individual suppositions and baggage out of the way. Isn’t that always the struggle?
May your struggles be brief and your trust in Him absolute.
God bless,
Arlene James
