A heartbreaking loss
Susannah Braddock’s worst nightmare has come true: her husband, Riley, has been killed in WWI. Devastated, she turns to her hired hand Tanner Grenfell for support. As Susannah’s grief ebbs, her friendship with Tanner deepens into love. But their newfound happiness is short lived….
A stranger returns
Riley Braddock cannot remember his life before the war. All he knows are the two years he has spent with Véronique, the French woman who rescued him from the battlefield and nursed him back to health. When Riley returns to the Braddock farm, both he and Susannah know he’s a different man. Torn between her love for Tanner and her loyalty to Riley, Susannah must make an impossible choice: the only love she’s known…or a future she’s always dreamed of.

"While the ending was unsettling to me, it made sense. The setting was very, very interesting, as were the characters. On a personal note the struggles were too emotional and raw for me. However, I can see where they would great in the opinions of others."
— Brit (4 out of 5 stars)
" I was drawn into this book at first, but found the ending lacking. "
— Dawn, 1/7/2014" Fast read. World War I genre; drama, romance. Liked it a lot. "
— Linda, 11/29/2013" This drama was actually pretty good after you got into it. The first chapter is kind of weird but makes prefect sense when you get father. It almost tries to me a mystery but it is not. I would recommend it. "
— Infamous, 11/21/2013" Good simple, predictable love story. not good enough to read others by this author until I am bored though. "
— Sheryl, 11/5/2013" it was a nice sequel to the first book! it ended differently then ithought but that's a good thing :) I like that it takes place in Oregon. "
— Michelle, 8/18/2013" I don't know how I really feel about this book and I'm not at all happy or content with how this book ended. I'm giving it four stars because of the emotions it drew out of me, but 2-3 stars for what happens in the book. "
— Duchess, 7/20/2013" Great romance triangle and time era. Quick read and great characters in this Oregon town. "
— Danielle, 6/5/2013" Average read about WWI experiences of one who went to war and those he left behind. "
— Marcia, 4/9/2013" This was a interesting twist on a novel of that time period. A nice romance without being too mushy. I admire women of this time period. such hard workers! "
— Joan, 3/23/2013" Another great book following Home by Morning. Great new author for me. "
— Mary, 1/18/2013" absolutely loved it! This was a sequel to Home by Morning and it has twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. its very heart wrenching and will completely take you by surprise! A must read! "
— Kerstie, 11/30/2012" I read the book that came before this one, Home by Morning, and it was pretty decent. Kinda romancey, but I like the time period (early 1920s) and it's an intelligent romance, not some bodice-ripper. We shall see. "
— Carrie, 10/20/2012" I typically don't read period pieces or romances, but this was so beautifully written that it was a pleasureful read. "
— Jen, 10/3/2012" I really enjoyed this book and all the characters. Otis a book about love and loss and how things never stay the same, even I'd we want them too. "
— Audrey, 9/21/2012" I am not one who would usually read a book set in a historical setting. I picked it for a romance. It gave me that plus much more. I saw it as a potential eye opener to the consequences that war has on individuals and their families. "
