Part of Virgin River, book 11
First published 2010
Clay Tahoma trades the ranches of Los Angeles for a veterinary assistant position in Virgin River. The remote mountain community speaks to his Navajo heritage, and the townspeople welcome him warmly. All except Lilly Yazhi. She has dealt with too many traditional men from her own Native community and refuses to fall for another one. Clay's natural way with horses impresses her, but Lilly sees his charm as a calculated move, the same routine he used on his wealthy ex-wife. She won't let any man control her again. Clay finds himself drawn to this strong-willed woman who sees right through his usual appeal. Lilly fights her growing attraction to the quiet veterinarian. Virgin River becomes the backdrop for two guarded hearts learning to trust again.
