"No One Has Ever Chosen Me First," She Said... The Quiet Rancher Replied, "Then Let Me Be the One"

Grace Calloway has spent her whole life being useful — never chosen. Widowed at twenty-seven and burdened by a debt she didn't know she owed, she arrives at Larkspur Hollow to raise a rancher's orphaned niece and nephew, expecting nothing more than steady work and quiet distance from her past. But Samuel Voss, a guarded widower who has learned not to want what he might lose again, starts noticing what everyone else overlooked. When an old debt and a dangerous man from her late husband's past threaten to pull her away, Grace must decide whether she's willing to be chosen — plainly, deliberately, and for herself — for the very first time. A slow-burn frontier romance about being seen, being wanted, and finally coming home.
