Slow Ride Home: A Mature-Age Christian Romance

By: Duncan, Juliette

He's a cowboy who's lost his way. She's a daughter who's lost her home.

Joshua Goddard has spent his life living in the shadow of his father and brother. Now grown and restless, he wonders if there's more to life than running cattle and entertaining tourists on Goddard Downs-and whether God has any place in his future at all.

Stella Martin refuses to give up on Indigo Downs. Though the bank has foreclosed and her parents have walked away, the cattle station is stitched into her heart. Taking a job at Goddard Downs may be her only chance to reclaim the home she loves.

Stella is drawn to Joshua from the moment they meet, but she knows better than to trust her heart. He doesn't share her faith, and she's already lost too much to risk it again.

As past hurts surface and hope seems distant, Joshua and Stella must decide whether they're willing to trust God-and each other. Because sometimes the slowest road is the one that finally leads home.

Slow Ride Home is Book Three in the Sunburned Land Series, a contemporary Christian romance set in the beautiful, rugged and remote Kimberley area of northern Australia.
