Itโs hard to hear Godโs voice when youโve already decided what you want him to say.
In the wilds of the rugged West, Betsy Smith discovers beauty in every cornerโfrom the blazing sunsets to the wind murmuring secrets through the mountains. Yet, it's the magnetism of Gabe Manning, with his dark complexion and dashing demeanor, that draws her gaze. Having known him since childhood, Betsy sees in Gabe the embodiment of the heroes she admires from her a stalwart protector of the innocent, a champion of justice, a man of unshakable integrity, and a paragon of honor, guided by principles as steadfast as the mountains themselvesโ all while reconciling with his Arapaho Indian heritage. Yet, amid her admiration, Betsy longs for Godโs reassurance that Gabe is the one for her.
As deputy of Shumard Oak Bend, Missouri, in 1875, Gabe โLittle Sunโ Manning sees the allure and harshness of frontier life. Amidst the chaos, he finds solace in the presence of Miss Betsy Smith, a compassionate schoolteacher whose independence and intellect captivate him as profoundly as her beauty. Yet, as their bond deepens, Gabe wrestles with doubts about his ability to fulfill the desires of her heart. He knows she's willing to forsake her career for a future with him, but can he offer her the family she seeks? Haunted by the secrets of his past and desperate for redemption, Gabe faces his most formidable challenge yet.

EXCERPT:
โI donโt know what Iโm supposed to do,โ Betsy whispered, her voice raw.
โYou donโt have to figure it out right now.โ Gabeโs voice was gentle. โWeโll take it slow. One step at a time.โ
Heโd said weโll. The word settled deep in her heart.
Later, when they stood in the twilight by Thunderโs saddle, Gabe offered his hand. โIโll help you up.โ
She hesitated, then took it. Warmth spread through her, unexpected but welcome. Once mounted, she adjusted her skirts, and Gabe swung up behind her, his presence steady and solid.
They rode in silence for a while, Thunderโs hooves beating a gentle rhythm beneath them. Finally, she murmured, โYou donโt have to do this.โ
โDo what?โ
โTake care of me.โ
โI want to.โ
Simple words. No strings. But they wrapped around her like a warm blanket in winter.
As they approached her home, Gabe dismounted and helped her down. Their hands lingered longer than necessary.
โThank you, Gabe.โ
โAnytime, Miss Smith. You know that.โ
And she believed him.
