Claiming the Cattleman's Heart

All rugged cattle-station owner Daniel Renton wants is to build a relationship with his motherless daughter.

The demons of his past drive him, but when newcomer Lily Halliday comes breezing into town, she’s like a breath of fresh air. Stranded outside Ironbark Station with an empty petrol tank, the sunny traveler brings a timid stray dog and unexpected laughter into Daniel’s solitary kitchen.

As he and Lily get to know each other it’s clear a bond is forming, but Daniel guards his heart closely. Fresh from serving time on a prison farm, he fears his past will cost him custody of eleven-year-old Jessica.

Daniel must overcome his lingering shame—since the daughter he longs to bring home needs a father who believes in tomorrow. Opening her heart means risking old hurts—yet walking away from the wounded cattleman is no longer an option.

Lily needs to convince Daniel to trust her—because a life with him will be worth the wait…
