Whispers in the Wind by Lauriane Snelling



Book two of the Wild West Wind Series

 She's come this far...must she turn back now?


After fleeing North Dakota and the now defunct Wild West Show, Cassie Lockwood and her companions have finally found the hidden valley in South Dakota where her father had dreamed of putting down roots. But to her dismay, she discovers a ranch already built on her land.

Cassie's arrival surprises Mavis Engstrom and forces her to reveal secrets she's kept hidden for years. Her son Ransom is suspicious of Cassie and questions the validity of her claim to the valley. But younger son Lucas decided from the start that he is in love with her and wants to marry her.

Will Cassie be able to build a home on the Bar E Ranch and fulfill her father's dream of raising horses, or will she be forced to return to the itinerant life of her past?

Cassie Lockwood and her hodge-podge group of weary travelers have finally reached the hidden valley in the Black Hills of South Dakota, only to find that another family has made their home on the land. Met with open arms by the mother and younger son and daughter, she faces the skepticism and doubt from the eldest son. But does Ransom really harbor something more akin to love in his heart? Will Lucas' pursuit of Cassie keep Ransom from professing his real feelings? Through trials, laughter, injuries and blossoming friendships, Cassie comes closer to realizing her dreams might come true...but at what cost?

I'm anxious to find out what the author has planned for our weary band of travelers. Here's hoping that Cassie finds the home, family and love she has been missing since the death of her parents.
