Love Without End (A Kings Meadow Romance)($10.96Value)

Description

For two single parents with bruised hearts, it’ll take more than a little courage to get back on the horse when it comes to love. Kimberly Welch lost her husband to a heart attack in the blink of an eye. But she’s losing her daughter slowly, in the day-to-day tension. In three difficult years, Kimberly has gone from Seattle socialite to Kings Meadow charity case, and her daughter is not responding well to the changes. She’s becoming a sullen, cantankerous teen. Chet Leonard lost his teenage son in a car accident. Then his wife abandoned him and their two remaining boys. He tries to keep his mind on the family ranch, but if the last two years have taught him anything, it’s that sometimes you just have to let the memories hurt. Let the memories hurt, and leave well enough alone. But when Chet volunteers to help tame Kimberly’s daughter’s horse, everyone gets more than they bargained for . . . especially when eighty-four-year-old Anna McKenna shows up. Nana Anna has reappeared in Kings Meadow after decades away, bringing with her the magnetism and transformative joy that come from a life well lived . . . just the kind of magic that a couple of unlucky-in-love single parents need to conjure up a little courage and raise a new family from the ashes of tragedy. "Hatcher crafts a lovely installment of the Kings Meadow Romance and readers will want more of the Idaho ranchers. It takes us into the healing power of horses and God's ability to create community where it is most needed." — Romantic Times , 4-1/2 star review "No one writes about the joys and challenges of family life better than Robin Lee Hatcher and she's at the top of her game with Love Without End. This beautiful and deeply moving story will capture your heart as it captured mine." ~ Margaret Brownley, N.Y. Times bestselling author " Love Without End , the first book in the new King's Meadow contemporary romance series, intertwines two beautiful and heartfelt romances. One in the past and one in the future together make this a special read. I'm so glad Robin wrote a love story for Chet who suffered so much in A Promise Kept . Kimberly, so wrong for him, becomes so right. Not your run of the mill cowboy romance--enriched with the deft writing and deep emotion." ~ Lyn Cote, author of Honor , first in the "Quaker Bride" series "A sweeping love story that captures the heart and soul of romance between two people who have every reason not to fall in love.

How much could she have changed in ten years? Perhaps a lot. The last time he'd seen her was about a decade ago when he and his family took a vacation to Disney World in Florida. They'd taken one day off from rides and games to spend an afternoon with Anna and her husband, Walter. Anna McKenna wasn't any blood relation to the Leonards, but Chet considered her family all the same. And now, after the death of h
