A Chance for Leah by Patricia PacJac Carroll

Leah Braden chose to remain on the family farm. Her mother, Claire, and stepfather Ethan take their younger children, Amelia and Jess, to Chicago to seek medical treatment for little Jess’s hearing loss.
Surprised that she is the one left to carry on the farm for her father, Leah is determined to outlast the drought and make a go of it. The town of Last Chance has a new well that has brought life to the dying town. Now, if only she could find a life of her own.
Devon Clarke is visiting his distant relative who works for Leah. He came all the way from New York, but then, he had to. He falls for Leah. Or is she just another easy mark for his con man ways? He’s not even sure. Hard times and the drought have made it difficult to find work. Leah just might be his last chance.
