A Governess for the Broken Rancher: A Western Historical Romance Book

By Mabel Hayes

"You hired me as a governess."
"That's all this can be."
Her voice softens. "Then why do you look at me like I'm already yours?"

Clara Whitmore, once a respected schoolteacher in Boston, accepts a governess position at Wildflower Ridge, where her damaged past can remain a secret.

Luke Carver has spent years keeping the world at arm's length, haunted by the war and the brother he lost. Taking in a governess was meant to be practical, but he can't keep Clara out of his mind. And the growing attachment between her and his niece certainly doesn't help.

The moment a land baron resurfaces in Bozeman, their world begins to fall apart-again. And they must decide: will fear and the past drive them apart, or will they risk everything for their family and the love they never believed they deserved?

A broken past.
A guarded heart.
And a love the frontier
refused to let them escape.
