About the Book:
When Meg Cole’s father dies unexpectedly, she becomes the majority shareholder of his oil company and the single inheritor of his fortune. Though Meg is soft-spoken and tenderhearted–more interested in art than in oil–she’s forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of her father’s empire.
The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father’s thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.
Bo’s determined to resent the woman who’s decided to rob him of his dream. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them–her wealth, his unworthiness, her family’s outrage–and earn the right to love her.
But just when Meg begins to realize that Bo might be the one thing on the ranch worth keeping, their fragile bond is viciously broken by a force from Meg’s past. Can their love–and their belief that God can work through every circumstance–survive?

My Review:
The Cole family in my mind seem very similar to the Ewing family on that famous television show all those years ago. Meg's father, William Cole, had always prided himself in knowing all there is to know about oil, how to drill it and how to sell it. Meg, on the other hand was an old softie. She wasn't a cutthroat business woman. But she is forced to take over the business after the unexpected death of her father.
Set in today's time, this book takes you deep into the heart of Texas to a Thoroughbred racehorse farm that Meg Cole wants no part of. So she decides to allow Bo Porter to continue business for 6 more months but does want him to move forward with shutting the business down. Bo Porter the manager of her fathers business wants to be so angry with this angel that has stumbled into his life but instead is very much captivated by her, so much so that he will do anything to please her.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me for free for my honest review from Litfuse.
