Summer Breeze
Catherine Anderson
The year is 1889, and Rachel Hollister hasn't set foot
outside her house in five years. Ever since a savage attack
left her family dead, she's cordoned herself off from the
outside world, afraid to let anyone into her home—or into
her heart. But now trouble has appeared on her doorstep—and
suddenly she has no choice but to let a handsome
rancher invade her well-guarded existence... Confirmed bachelor Joseph Paxton grudgingly offers to take
up temporary residence at the Hollister ranch—even though
it's obvious that Rachel doesn't want his protection. But
once he catches a glimpse of his beautiful young ward and
her remarkable spirit, he'll do anything to break through
the dark spell that's walled off her heart. It may take a
miracle, but he's determined to make her see the refuge
he's offering in his embrace—and the splendor that exists
beyond her front door. Otherwise he'll just have to build a
safe haven big enough for the both of them...
