Aurora and her adopted sister Pia have grown up at Mission San Carolos de Borromeo. When Aurora is unexpectedly pressured into giving up her teaching position there to become governess at Rancho de Montaraz, the ranch her parents abruptly departed years before, she goes with trepidation. At the ranch, Aurora is immediately embroiled in conflict with four aristocratic brothers. The eldest, Iván, a man accustomed to unquestioning obedience, is her employer, but often seems displeased with her presence. Raul harasses her with unwanted attentions, and Justo is openly hostile. When men are injured fighting a wildfire, Aurora calls on Pia, a skilled nurse; but Pia's Native American remedies are challenged. As the sisters work with the de Montaraz brothers, feelings among some deepen. Then the sisters learn long-buried family secrets the brothers have been keeping. How can Aurora and Pia move past the betrayal and forgive the men who hold their hearts?

Author Information

Marilyn was born and reared in cattle country. She wanted no part of the life of a rancher's wife. No saddle sores and feeding hungry cowboys in the middle of dusty pastures for her. She would read, research, and write. She married-a rancher, of course-but she taught school, surrounded by sweet children and books. Cheryl's mother was her co-teacher and closest friend. Marilyn collected history and wrote for historical magazines and journals for sixteen years, until the day her rancher said he needed her with him more than they needed a paycheck. She finally earned her spurs. Now a widow, she again collects history and writes historical fiction about inspired women of the southwest. A true blue Texas girl, Cheryl lives in the serenity of the hill country near Austin. During some of life's challenges, Cheryl discovered how faithful God is in His abounding love. Through this process grew a love for other women who have unearthed God's strength to move forward in His way. For Cheryl, the best part of writing inspirational historical fiction is the anticipation of what is to come-standing beside women from another era who meet the challenges of a complicated life journey by discovering the joy of living close to God. It does her soul good to be surrounded by the laughter of loved ones, an empty plate of southern home-cooking, and a page of perfectly orchestrated words powerful enough to transform the way we see the world.
