Leave the past behind
That’s life lesson number one for Jenny Wyler. Which is why she’s sequestered in the middle of rural Montana teaching in a one-room schoolhouse. Saddlers Prairie is good and far from the ex-fianc who ran when he discovered the truth about her family. And from now on, Jenny would keep silent about her past.
But for Abby Dawson, a kindergartner in Jenny’s class, silence isn’t a choice. Not only shy, the little girl may be mute, and her father, Adam, needs Jenny’s help. Determined to give the child a voice, the pair work together while denying their powerful attraction. Besides, what could a cattle rancher and big-city teacher have in common anyway? Besides their love of a five-year-old girl. And the damaging secrets they are both hiding…secrets that are bound to leak out.
