Keith had shouted a warning at Brad, but it was Dr. Montgomery who surprised everyone by saying, “If you’re smart, you’ll marry them and make it the fastest ceremony you’ve ever done. Skip to the ‘I do’ part now, and see these two properly wed before this baby appears in the next few minutes.” Then she pointed to the side of the bed and added in her husky voice, “Preacher, you can stand right there. Start talking.”

As the doctor urged Emily’s legs up, the preacher had scurried to the side of the bed, as instructed, and flipped to a page in his book. Keith, who already had the marriage license out, along with a pen, wrote his signature as witness and handed both items to Brad. Then, as Emily screamed “I do,” Brad held the paper and pressed the pen into her hand, so that she could scribble her name.

While Emily pushed, Brad had sat beside her and supported her back. The preacher hurried along and spoke fast, and right before the baby’s head crowned, he uttered the words, “I pronounce you man and wife.”

Becky Ann Friessen was born at 9:22am, weighing in at seven pounds and two ounces; right after her father had pushed a diamond-encrusted gold band on her mama’s finger.

Page Turner!! ... Brad is just sick with worry over losing Emily and Katy but has he lost them forever?? You definitely have to read this book to find out. I was hooked from the first page to the last. Excellent!!

Lorhainne Eckhart is a new author to me, but she is definitely going on my list of authors' books to lookout for because she turned my world and emotions upside with this compelling, realistic story of heartache and unconditional love between a man and a woman, a man and his son, and a woman and a little boy who she quickly grows to love.

READERS FAVORITE 5-Star Review: A real page turner … with a fast moving plot. A must read!

Overview:

Emily Nelson, a courageous young mother, ends a loveless, bitter marriage and strikes out on her own. She answers an ad as a cook and live-in caregiver to a three-year-old boy on a local ranch. Ranch owner Brad Friessen hires and moves in Emily and her daughter. But Emily soon discovers something’s seriously wrong with the boy, and the reclusive, difficult man who hired her can’t see the behavior and how delayed his son is. So Emily researches until she stumbles across what she suspects are the soft signs of autism. Now she must tell him, give him hope, and help him come to terms with this neurological disorder—to take the necessary steps to get his child the help he needs.

As their lives become intertwined, their attraction is unavoidable—a connection sparks between them. But just as they’re getting close, Brad’s estranged wife, Crystal, returns after abandoning the family two years earlier. Among the shock and confusion is one disturbing question Brad can’t shake: How does Crystal know so much of his personal business, the inner working of the ranch, and Emily’s relationship with his son?

Crystal must’ve had a plan, as she somehow gains the upper hand, driving a wedge in the emotional bond forged between Brad, Emily, and the children. The primary focus for care and therapy of three-year-old Trevor is diverted. The lengths to which Crystal will go, the lies, the greed, just to keep what’s hers, are nothing short of cold and calculating. Emily’s forced out of the house. Brad fights to save his boy, to protect what’s his, and struggles over his greatest sacrifice—Emily, and the haunting question: Has he lost her forever?
