It was only meant to be one night of pleasure… After a failed engagement, paleontologist Heather “Heart” Carvalho has vowed to always protect herself in love. When she’s hired to conduct a geophysical survey for a mineral rights dispute on ancient land, she never expects to be swept up in the arms of a rugged cowboy. After a night of passion, she learns the handsome cowboy is her new client. Even more complicated, he has kids, and soon Heart longs for something she knows she can never have…a family. Tyler Dixon doesn’t have time for emotional attachments. He has two sons to raise solo, a multimillion-dollar ranch to operate, and a pending lawsuit to protect his land from an unscrupulous oil company. Carrying on with the gorgeous, free-spirited paleontologist will only jeopardize Tyler’s case. So why does he feel the impulse to keep crossing the line with her? They’re both everything they told themselves they didn’t want. As their chemistry burns, Heart claims she can remain impartial, but soon Ty wants the one thing she’s sworn to never again give away—her heart.

Some seasons of life can seem inordinately more difficult than one human should ever have to endure. For Brandi Wilson, this was the year when her husband of more than 20 years--and a megachurch pastor--walked away from her and her family, her church community dissolved, and her dreams and identity were shattered. Yet God transformed this heartbreaking, overwhelming year into an invaluable lesson on the gift of healing. Here Brandi vulnerably and beautifully tells her story of confronting grief and heartache head-on and learning how to grow from the pain. She poignantly reminds us that your story is always evolving as she helps you · rely on and find comfort in the promises of God · endure the darkest moments and seasons of life · address your grief head-on · begin a new journey toward healing · find freedom in your new identity While grief and tragedy seem final and your life and dreams look drastically different, there is hope for renewed joy, peace, and redemption. Your pain doesn't get the final say; through God's grace and healing power, you will be better than okay.
