Melody Hughes is not having a good year. Having her father die on Christmas Eve was bad enough; knowing he couldn’t leave his ranch to her, he left it to his foreman. The foreman was to marry Melody and allow her to continue raising and training horses like always. Instead, he informs her she will have to become a proper ranch wife, overseeing the home and having children, or leave the ranch. When a traveling Reverend tells her of a man wanting to learn how to ranch like her father, she takes the job, not realizing it’s 147 years in the future. Tallis Colton Ryder, a descendant of Nugget Nate and Nathan Ryder, is enamored with ranching like it was done in the 1800s and thinks tourist will be too. His only he needed someone to be sure he was being historically accurate. When a mysterious reverend tells him he has such an expert; Tallis agrees to interview them.

However, there's a complication; the Reverend informs him that Melody Hughes can only stay for six months, after which she has another unbreakable contract.

https://www.facebook.com/pg/George-H-... George McVey always wanted to be a Superhero, sadly no radioactive storms or animals have been a part of his life. One day while spinning a tall tale for his family, some suggested once again that with all his experiences in ministry and his imagination, he should be writing books. This time it was like lightning struck him and he decided why not? Since then George has been hard at work using his creative imagination and writing several books. He's still adding to his bibliography to this day. You can find them all on his Amazon.com page. George lives in the wonderful state of Almost Heaven, West Virginia. A few years ago he moved from a single family home to a deluxe apartment in the sky, well the fourth floor anyway. He lives with his wife of thirty years, and a service dog named Daisy Mae. He is visited often by his three children and two grandsons.
