Houston’s Hope by Cynthia Hickey

A man filled with greed who will stop at nothing
When Hope Jennings’s aunt suffers a suspicious death, Hope heads to Copper Pass to accept a counseling position on the newly established youth healing center at the Rocking 7 Ranch. When it comes to light that more than her love of youth is behind her arrival, she finds herself under scrutiny.

Houston Armstrong loves the ranch but wants more from life than cattle and horses. He’d once saved a little, white-haired girl from death, now she arrives on his doorstep with more secrets than he thought one person could hold. Distrust of the Hope he’d once known fills his heart, but he’d been her knight-in-shining-armor once, he’d do so again.
Can these two overcome distrust and danger to save wounded youth and find a hope of their own?
