About this ebook
Isaac Bowman is an outsider, but Lena Troyer makes the widower and his daughter feel like part of the community. So when a deer-poaching ring divides the town, Isaac vows to keep this gentle woman safe from harm…in spite of the danger to his heart.
Lena patiently coaxes young Ruby out of her grief with shared drawing lessons and gentle encouragement. Still haunted by the past he cannot undo, Isaac strives to build a secure home for his daughter—even as caution warns him against risking his feelings.
Night-time gunshots and slaughtered deer soon shatter the quiet woods around Mount Hope, but Lena refuses to look the other way. She speaks out against the community’s uneasy silence to protect her students…unmindful of the growing threat to her teaching post.
