Book Description

Bonnie Rocker fled the small town of Bethel Valley on the exhaust cloud of a ’74 Camaro, holding tight to the hand of the local bad boy.

Ten years later, broke, single, and exhausted to her bones, Bonnie and her daughter return home for her grandmother’s funeral. As she pulls into the driveway of Rockaway Ranch, she comes face to face with the reason she fled town: Slim Rocker, her mother.

Bonnie hopes to take her inheritance and speed right back out of town, this time without the local bad boy—she learned her lesson well enough the first time. But Grandma Mimi always enjoyed being contrary, and the stipulations in her will are no exception. Bonnie and her daughter must live on the ranch for one year before she can cash out her inheritance. An entire year spent under Slim’s oppressive rules. “Good rules for living,” she calls them, but Bonnie has always fallen short of their mark.

During the year, Bonnie works for the ranch’s new manager, Casey Donahue. He is fresh out of prison and caught in the eye of the town’s gossip storm. Nothing adds up with this man, and her mother isn’t talking—even though she’s the one who sent him to prison.

The year will not only test Bonnie’s resolve, but the very fabric of her heart. She will have to find her faith or risk losing everything most precious to her.
