      Her ex-fiancé is back—with a baby.

      Can they find a second chance at Mercy Ranch?

      Paralyzed veteran Eve Vincent has built an independent new life at a ranch for wounded warriors. But when she and her ex-fiancé, Ethan Forester, are named guardians of an orphaned baby girl, they must face down past misunderstandings to make a future for Tori. And caring for the little girl together might just rekindle their love...this time for forever.

      BRENDA MINTON lives in the Ozarks with her husband, children, cats, dogs and strays. She is a pastor’s wife, Sunday-school teacher, coffee addict and sleep deprived. Not in that order. Her dream to be an author for Harlequin started somewhere in the pages of a romance novel about a young American woman stranded in a Spanish castle. Her dreams came true, and twenty-plus books later, she is an author hoping to inspire young girls to dream.

      “Eve, there is no us. But we still exist, you and me, and Tori needs us.”

      Ethan said it softly because the baby in his arms seemed to be drifting off.

      “I obviously can’t do this. Last night was proof.”

      “Last night meant nothing. You’ve always managed, Eve. You’re strong and you’re capable.”

      “Before, Ethan,” she said sadly. “I was that person before. This is me now.”

      “I guess you have changed. I’ve never heard you say you can’t.”

      He glanced down at the little girl in his arms. “What other option is there? Should we turn her over to the state, let her take her chances with whoever they choose? Find some distant relative?”

      Ethan leaned back in the chair and studied Eve’s face. She was everything familiar. His childhood friend. The person he’d loved. She looked as stubborn as ever. But there was something fragile in her expression. Something that made him recheck his feelings. Eve had been his only broken heart. He didn’t want another one...

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you for joining me on this journey. I’m so blessed to get to do what I love for a publisher I love.

      My editors at Love Inspired have always encouraged me and I appreciate the stories they’ve allowed me to tell. Some stories are easier than others. The goal is always a romance that readers believe in and maybe fall a little bit in love with. Every now and then a character like Eve Vincent will come along and challenge me to something more.

      I loved writing this book in the Mercy Ranch series and I hope that you’ll love Eve and Ethan!

      Blessings,

       Brenda Minton

      And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

      —Romans 8:28

      This book is dedicated to my agent,

      Melissa Jeglinski, for guiding me through

      this process. She puts up with my angst,

      cheers
