The Love of the Guardian
Do you love the love in a great love story?
Then The Love of the Guardian, Snowflakes #3, at the Jake & Jewel Ranch, will truly warm your heart with charm, unrequited love, passion and pain, as long held secrets and hidden desires of the heart light the path to enduring love through the power of faith.
Homeless and destitute, with the unforeseen responsibility of her ward thrust upon her, Cindy Miles has nowhere to turn now but the cowboy she had twice scorned; falsely labeled as a weak, wannabe-cowboy. Saying the waters under the bridge between her and Luke Wayne were stagnant…was a gross understatement.
Now, the Luke of the past is not the strong, passionately gentle cowboy she was coming to know he had always been, the one her free spirited heart had feared and rejected. Could Luke forgive her, love her again, and let them become a family as she longed for him to? Or would her painful secret cause her to lose him forever?
Trust was the foundation of relationships in Luke Wayne’s code-of-life, and once broken—couldn’t be mended. Now the hardheaded, hardhearted and untrustworthy Cindy Miles returning to the Jake & Jewel with a heart full of love for the Squirt was playing havoc with his righteous senses. He couldn’t believe Cindy had changed so drastically and knew she had to be, deep down, still playing games with his emotions.
But deep in his heart Luke felt a burning need to be wrong.
Little fiery, redheaded Lizzie Mae knew her family’s painful secrets and wanted to reveal them. But how could she without hurting everyone more? Her only hope is in the Lord and the one man she wanted to be her Daddy. Lizzie Mae prayed and held on until the time was right for God to give her the desires of her heart, as He said He would.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
