Publisher's Synopsis
A beautiful ex-felon who's had her fill of men. A crotchety old ranch hand who loved and lost. A busy, lonely rancher facing a difficult summer.
Marketing degree in hand, Kate Neilson leaves a Pennsylvania penitentiary and heads for an internship on a Wyoming guest ranch determined to live a better life, despite others' attempts to drag her back into the pit. Cyrus Moore, a longtime ranch hand embittered by the loss of women he once loved, vows to make life difficult for an "over-educated" new employee who resembles Susan, his daughter who left for college and never returned. Tending the livestock and preparing for his guest ranch's summer season, which begins soon, occupy a good portion of Mike Duncan's thoughts and waking hours. Yet, loneliness plucks his heartstrings like a lost melody. Winds of Hope is the prequel to the Kate Neilson Series, contemporary romantic suspense novels set on the Whispering Pines, a picturesque guest ranch. If you like engaging characters, vivid locations and high-octane action, you'll love Winds of Hope and the other Kate Neilson stories that follow-Winds of Wyoming, Winds of Freedom and Winds of Change.
