Clara and the Cowboy — Erica Vetsch

Alec's had to prove himself his entire life.

From his abusive, alcoholic father to the townspeople who treat him as if he's cut from the same cloth to the insecurities that fill his own head, nothing he ever does is good enough. So how can he possibly let himself be in love with the boss's daughter? And why on earth would she have declared her love for him?

In a fit of pique, Clara did indeed declare her love for Alec. And his flat, decisive rejection -- even as his face and hands and lips denied his words -- nearly broke her heart. Why can't Alec look beyond the circumstances of his childhood to see the honorable man he's become?

When Clara's life is threatened by dangerous cattle rustlers, will Alec finally discover the answers he's been seeking? If he lets go of the past, can he trust God for the future?
