Western

Love is hard to come by. Holding onto love is harder. Finding perfect love is damn near impossible. Lucas Colby has discovered the lies of his life and knows he must now seek the truth. He will find that love only comes to those not seeking perfection, and the truth lies within him. If you were to ask him to pinpoint the day his life changed, it was his tenth birthday, August of 1918, the same day his father died. Eight years later, he buried his mother; the darkness taking her like the wind carries off the flicker of a candle. She loved him, perhaps too much, if there is such a thing. At eighteen, and just before he left home, he killed Theo Finley. No one in town would’ve believed him, and there was no way he was going to hang for the death of Finley, so he chucked a lantern down the hallway toward the back of the house and watched it explode against the wall. The blue yellow flames raged across the wooden floor and he stood there for a moment. At the time, the whole thing made perfect sense. The lesson learned in all these years taught him, never let deceit stay within your heart and allow a lie to come between you and the one you love. What you hold inside your heart will define you. It will define your life.

Courtship of the Recluse is about a conservative and independent young woman who accepts a job as housekeeper for a stoic man known as a hermit to the townsfolk. The ranch is miles from town, in the middle of 3000 plus acres. Aside from the love of ranch life, to her the job is an ideal way to save money for a down payment on her own place. To him it is freedom from housework so he can work the ranch. But respect and admiration spawn a much deeper emotion - one that gets out of control in fuzzy stages that blend into each other.

Even if it meant risking his own heart for a second chance for both of them....
