Emma had spent the last five years learning to cope with tragedy. She should have known that Doc had something up his sleeve when he'd talked her into taking a cooking job at a Colorado cattle ranch. Cooking was the easy part. Working with disabled children was something she was decidedly not prepared for. Throw in a tall dark mountain of a man with a voice like warm velvet and she was completely over her head! It would take God to straighten out the tangled mess she had made of her life.

Chapter 1
Emma drew a deep breath and flexed her shoulders in an attempt to relieve the stiffness in the tense muscles of her neck and back. The late April breeze coming in the open windows felt like silk against her skin as it ruffled her shoulder length honey blonde hair. She had been driving for almost two hours. Towing a small-enclosed trailer over the Rocky Mountains was a new experience for her. The pass had proved to be a challenge, but she had taken it slow and hadn’t had any major problems. For the last half hour she had been driving along a narrow road that wound over wooded hills and past stately pines following the signs pointing to the Lazy J Ranch.
She should have known better than to have lunch with her guardian, Doc Linden, last week. It seemed that he was always talking her into something. She shook her head as she remembered how he had manipulated her into this latest escapade.
“Come on Em, Joe and Sue Jacobs need you,” he’d pleaded. “They’re already short staffed and they’re having a rough time finding someone willing to take on a temporary job, cooking and helping out on a cattle ranch. Just stay while Sue’s laid up for the next six weeks or so. I’m sure they can find another helper in that amount of time.”
“Doc, is this another of your schemes to ‘draw me out’?” She asked suspiciously. “Like the Job Corps, the game preserve, the homeless shelter etc… I’m perfectly happy as I am.”
