His secret past. His second chance.
Three Sisters Ranch could be his way home...
When inexperienced rancher Nicole Bell starts training her troubled mare, Fernando Montoya has just the expertise she needs. But helping Nicole brings Fernando dangerously close to revealing the secret he’d rather keep hidden: he learned the skill in prison. While the horse draws them together, can Fernando find a way to tell her the truth...and keep it from pulling them apart?
DANICA FAVORITE loves the adventure of living a creative life. She loves to explore the depths of human nature and follow people on the journey to happily-ever-after. Though the journey is often bumpy, those bumps refine imperfect characters as they live the life God created them for. Oops, that just spoiled the ending of Danica’s stories. Then again, getting there is all the fun. Find her at danicafavorite.com.

He felt Nicole’s horse tense as he felt along the ridge on her back. “Horses bite for a lot of reasons. She’s exploring, but she also knows it’s a good way to protect herself. We just have to show her that she doesn’t need to protect herself anymore.”
As Nicole nodded once again, he saw more confidence in her eyes. She seemed more open and less afraid. Like the lessons that were healing Snookie were working in Nicole’s heart, as well.
Maybe he and Nicole would never get to a place where things were good between them. But he would do everything in his power to make sure her heart didn’t get broken again...
While all of the characters and situations in this book are purely the work of my imagination, I wanted this book to honor the amazing folks in the federal corrections system who train wild mustangs, who are then sold and used by the general public. Our family has gotten to know a number of fantastic horses who came from this program, so when it was time to get our own mustangs, we knew that’s where we’d get them. These programs help both horse and human on so many levels, and I love being able to share just a little about them.
Though I’ve never been to prison, I’ve seen how it’s affected people I care about, and I also know that many of us, like Fernando, feel trapped by our pasts. God never meant for any of us to live in shame, and as Fernando and Nicole learned, we need to learn to trust God to bring
