First published 2004
Libby Collins faces losing the homestead that means everything to her. Her neighbor Jordan Powell couldn't be more different. He's confident and commanding where she's quiet and reserved. He's experienced in ways she's never imagined. The two have lived side by side in Jacobsville for years without much more than polite conversation between them. When Libby's property comes under threat, Jordan steps in to help. He makes her fight his own personal mission. The whole town watches as these unlikely allies work together. Libby discovers there's more to her strong-willed neighbor than his tough exterior suggests. Jordan finds himself drawn to her gentle nature and quiet strength. What starts as neighborly assistance becomes something neither of them expected in small-town Texas.
