Illegitimate. Ruined. Two harsh words that leave two lost souls in search of belonging...
Christian Milnes can think of nothing besides meeting the four Graham siblings who share his blood. Ever since he learned of their existence, he cannot pass a stranger without wondering if they could be his family. Meliora Williams is unwed with a baby on the way and no one to turn to except the dishonorable man who broke her heart. Determined to find her own way in the world, she boards a train headed west to Montana. Arriving at Aster Ridge Ranch, Mel is immediately entranced by the sense of freedom and possibility she feels under the wide prairie skies... as well as by the handsome young horse doctor Christian Milnes, who she senses is searching for his own brighter future. Out on the western plains of Montana, anything can happen. Two hearts can meet and entwine, a young man can find a family, and a young woman may find she is not so very broken after all.
