sacrifice

    This book made me cry more than once!  Wealthy cowboy, Rance Phillips just can't take his meddling father anymore...the busload of brides-to-be who crashed his branding session was the last straw, so he runs away from the ranch. He doesn't care where he's going, he just needs to get away. After driving all night, he ends up at a remote Montana ranch. And who should be running it, but the one who got away...his old flame...now a widow with 4 kids.

Ellie O'Connor is a survivor. Even with the bank breathing down her neck, she's determined to hang onto the ranch for her son's sake. She might've been pregnant by another man before she married, but her eldest son and husband had formed a bond that death couldn't break. The ranch would be her son's some day...Ellie just had to hang on until he was old enough to take over.
