'Colleen is a master storyteller.' --Karen Kingsbury, New York Times bestselling author

For most, it's the safest place on earth. For Gracie, it's the last place she wants to be . . . and the one place she must return.

With nothing but five dollars and the wedding dress she's wearing, Gracie Lister flees with her daughter by train to West Texas, to the town she ran away from so long ago. There they find refuge in the home of Michael Wayne--devoted single father and seasoned soldier--who gives Gracie a job caring for his two children and the hiding place she needs from her former fiancé.

Michael and Gracie aren't looking for love, but it finds them right away. And then trouble comes to call in the form of Gracie's ex-fiancé who is now on the FBI's most-wanted list. Together, Michael and Gracie must find the strength they need to protect their newly forged family.

The Lonestar series includes Lonestar Sanctuary, Lonestar Secrets, Lonestar Homecoming, and Lonestar Angel—all in the atmospheric setting of a Texas horse ranch.
