Ransomed Trust — Deborah Pierson Dill

Lucy Kramer needs to get away for a few days. As if the stress of her mother's decline into dementia isn't enough, now a neighbor seems to be stalking her. The Ransom Oaks Ranch offers room to breathe and think, and Brandon Tennent's quiet, sensitive nature draws her in almost immediately.

But Brandon's past mirrors all too closely that of Lucy's alcoholic father, and while his feelings for Lucy are strong, he knows she could never trust him completely. No one can.

When her stalker's attentions take a sinister turn, can Brandon prove to Lucy and to himself that he's not as unworthy as he believes?
