    A lone wolf meets the woman who is his destiny in this Whispering Mountain romance from New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas.

    Teagen McMurray would ride to hell and back to protect his land. He’s certainly never felt that way about a woman. Not, at least, until Jessie Barton shows up with her three little girls, desperate for a place to stay. Suddenly he finds himself proposing marriage, telling himself it's only to protect her and her children...

    Jessie has no place to go except to Whispering Mountain—and to Teagen, the one man who, thanks to the correspondence he shared with her dead husband, couldn’t deny her. But what will happen once the man she’s fallen in love with through his letters discovers her tangle of lies?
    New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas is a fifth-generation Texan who sets many of her stories in her home state, where her grandmother was born in a covered wagon. She is a certified marriage and family counselor, a Texas Tech graduate and writer-in-residence at West Texas A&M University. She lives with her husband in Amarillo, Texas. View titles by Jodi Thomas
