Grace Under Fire - Jennifer Raines - Bog

It's deal or no deal when a new threat forces two independent neighbours to face a past tragedy. Artisan cheese-maker GRACE ANDERSON lost her closest friend to suicide, then saw her father swindled out of prime dairy land. Abandonment and mistrust cemented her determination to become the fifth generation on the family farm and to do it alone. A deterioration in her mother's health starts the clock. Grace has three months to buy her parents out-a decade sooner than planned-or lose the farm. Neighbour RYAN WILSON is haunted by the belief he failed to prevent his younger brother Danny's suicide. He's returned to sell his mother's farm. In eight years away, he's built a fortune flipping farm properties and doesn't do attachment-to land or people. The bank plays hard ball, forcing Grace to consider Ryan's offer to buy part of her land. The sizzling attraction simmering between them is an unwelcome complication. She doesn't want a business partner, he doesn't want to care, but when someone tries to sabotage her purchase, she finds herself turning to Ryan for more than financial help. Can Ryan convince her accepting help is not failure? Can Grace escape her legacy of mistrust and teach him how to care again? GRACE UNDER FIRE is an award-winning story which brings readers along an emotional journey with the complex characters. Jennifer likes to think her readers get occasional hints of the deep passion of a Nora Roberts or the unshakeable loyalty of a Grace Burrowes where love conquers loneliness, distrust and fear.
