Where the Cedars Lean

A crumbling Texas ranch. A five-million-dollar temptation. And a woman learning how to finally take off her armor.

Hannah Caldwell is holding her family’s legacy together by a thread. After her father’s sudden death, the thirty-three-year-old becomes the sole executor of the Caldwell Ranch in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Faced with a crushing balloon payment she cannot afford, Hannah’s life is entirely defined by duty, isolation, and doing the next necessary thing.

When Caleb Reyes-Morales, a quiet and perceptive veterinarian, moves into the ranch’s bunkhouse to help, he brings much-needed stability, and an unexpected challenge to the emotional walls Hannah has built. But just as Hannah begins to open up to the possibility of love, a wealthy developer offers her five million dollars for the land, giving her a flawless way out. To complicate matters, she uncovers a sealed envelope hidden in her father’s desk, written by the mother who abandoned her sisters years ago.
