Whispers of Grace (Westward Hearts #1)

In the quiet of the West, grace speaks loudest.

Isaac Sutton carries the heavy burden of a tarnished name and a ranch steeped in the shadows of his father's failures. Driven by duty and a deep-seated need to protect his brothers and their newfound family of orphans, he's sworn off complicated feelings - especially those sparked by his children’s teacher.

Enter Louisa Miller, grace and sunshine personified. Driven by compassion and call to service, Louisa takes the harrowing trek across the country to become the teacher for the motley passel of abandoned children housed on the rugged Sutton ranch. She expects challenges, but not the commanding presence of the handsome, fiercely protective cowboy who becomes her unexpected boss.

A little mischief from the children and a few bumps in the road of misunderstanding soon give way to mutual respect. As Louisa's unwavering faith and gentle spirit mend the children's broken hearts, Isaac finds his own defenses crumbling beneath her light. But when a dangerous threat to their fragile peace appears, it will take more than courage. It will take both their hands clasped in prayer and their unwavering trust in the Lord to fight for the future they never meant to find, but desperately hope to keep.
