A Melody to Tender His Soul by Grace Clemens

Evan Stanwick is a cattle rancher who seems to have it all. He has a successful ranch, a large house and a close family. At 6’3″, with jet black hair and ice blue eyes, he thought he’d have more in his 29 years than a broken heart, but that was all God had granted him. Melodie Bayfield is new in town. She is the step daughter of the new mayor, and she has a large heart.
She wants to make a difference, and as a teacher, she believes she can do so in Bluff Springs. She does not realise that her relationship as a stepsister to Tom and Sarah, Evan’s former best friend and his former fiance, might spell disaster for the feelings she starts to develop the second she sees Evan.
Evan isn’t sure he can love again, and certainly not his former friend’s stepsister. Can he give love another chance? Or will the past catch up to him?
