Some promises aren’t meant to last a lifetime. Gini would do just about anything to take care of the eleven orphans in her custody. She's vowed to never marry, but that oath is pushed to the limits when John moves in next door. The new Nebraska rancher is a tad abrasive but willing to step in when the entire town has given up on her little orphanage. She’s prayed for help for so long, but are God’s plans even bigger than she can conceive? There are some things a man can’t outrun. John’s running from the love he left behind in Kansas. On a mission to help his sister, John takes over her ranch, which has seen its share of problems. Day after day, John fights against those trying to seize his land, but a more present danger lurks right next door, the sweet redheaded owner of the orphanage, who’s fast stealing his heart. As the world closes in on him, John must protect his home from rustlers and his heart from getting trampled, once again. If he can’t, he just might lose them both.

The long-awaited sequel to An Imperfect Promise. Esther Greely has lost her orphanage, the only home she's ever known. Life is cold and unyielding. What can she possibly do with her limited skills? She's always felt like an outsider, except to one man. The one man who can't help her. No matter what. Carl Rainer is the sheriff of Albertville, Nebraska, but people don't trust him after a rustling ring formed right under his nose. He not only needs to rebuild trust but find somewhere for the displaced Esther Greely. He has loved her since he met her, but convention says he shouldn't. If he takes a chance now...it could seal public opinion against him forever.
