Earning the Mountain Man's Trust (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch)

“He couldn't help a quick glance at his daughter. She slept so peacefully, completely unaware of the tempest swirling between those she loved…The sweetness of holding his sleeping daughter… She trusted him enough, felt comfortable enough with him, that she could doze in his arms. The weight of that faith wrapped around him like a warm hug. He wanted to cling to the moment, to keep her safe and close, allowing nothing else to intrude.” “He was a different man now. One who was doing his very best to be honorable. Honest. Upstanding. And now...a good father…One whose strength wasn't just in his broad shoulders and calloused hands from working the ranch, but in his unwavering faith and support for [the woman he loved, and for the rest of the family…Did she understand the depth of his love? The surety that he would be coming back to her? As long as he didn’t perish.” “Why does good have to be so painful?..Caring was so hard. It opened the heart to be vulnerable.” “The love of his life and the daughter they'd created were both in the arms of another man while he lay out here in the cold. No one in this wilderness cared enough to come check on him. How had his life come to this? And the bigger question... What was he going to do about it?” But Naomi harbors secrets of her own, and “she had to face the truth. Had to let the truth be known, if she and Eric were to ever reach the life together they craved.” Earning the Mountain Man’s Trust is a testament to Misty M. Beller’s passion “to create inspiring Christian fiction infused with the grandeur of the mountains, writing historical romance that displays God’s abundant love through the twists and turns in the lives of her characters…each piece as a thread in His master tapestry.”
