"Colleen is a master storyteller." --Karen Kingsbury, New York Times bestselling author
For most, it's the safest place on earth. For Gracie, it's the last place she wants to be . . . and the one place she must return.
With nothing but five dollars and the wedding dress she's wearing, Gracie Lister flees with her daughter by train to West Texas, to the town she ran away from so long ago. There they find refuge in the home of Michael Wayne--devoted single father and seasoned soldier--who gives Gracie a job caring for his two children and the hiding place she needs from her former fiancé.
Michael and Gracie aren't looking for love, but it finds them right away. And then trouble comes to call in the form of Gracie's ex-fiancé who is now on the FBI's most-wanted list. Together, Michael and Gracie must find the strength they need to protect their newly forged family.
"Colleen weaves intrigue and God's love into a story full of carefully crafted characters. If you're looking for an awesome writer, I highly recommend her!" --Tracie Peterson, best-selling author of Dawn's Prelude, Song of Alaska Series

"I kind of felt like I was reading the first book over again. Since they both have daughters and they're both running from someone or something and they both have a marriage of convenience. I still liked the book since I really love books that have to do with marriage of convenience but it did feel kind of a repetition. However I did read it in one day and couldn't stop reading so for that it will get a high rating."

" This was a great story of Gracie and what happened in her life after she ran away in a wedding dress and took nothing with her but her daughter, a true knight in shining armour found her and helped when she did not know where to turn... "
— Paula-O, 2/10/2014" This is a new author for me and I loved this book. I will look for more of her work. "
— Karen, 1/26/2014" Sweet and emotional Christian romantic suspense. "
— WiLoveBooks, 1/26/2014" After reading the first 2 books in this series, I got tired of the repeating plot. I enjoyed the first book, and the second book was good, but it was just too redundant to have the same plot with minor variations for the third book in the series. "
— Katie, 1/4/2014" Loved it...all three books of lonestar were good. liked that the characters moved along one book to another. "
— Cathryn, 12/15/2013" Colleen Coble really is an awesome writer! I loved this series a lot and thought it was well written with a great plot. Interesting, romantic, touching, with the perfect amount of mystery and action. Overall a great modern day western!! :-) "
— Arielle, 12/8/2013" Another cute wholesome christian romantic suspense. Colleen Coble always delivers on what she promises and this book was no exception. I loved it. "
— Elizabeth, 10/31/2013" Another quick read-started it Friday and finished it Saturday. The story was a little more involved, and had a lot more action, than Lonestar Secrets. Now I just need to backtrack and read Allie's story! "
— Lonnie, 10/5/2013" I enjoyed the story. Love the series, Looking forward to book #4! "
— Richellelee, 10/4/2013" Again, far too similar to the other two books in the series. At least the author admits she has an obsession with "convenient marriages" in the afterword. "
— Megan, 5/20/2013" I really like this author, her books are christian based and just really good stories about forgiveness, courage, trusting who you are. "

— Tatrd, 10/13/2012" This series just keeps getting better. "
— Susan, 9/12/2012" Again a predictable romance- and I can only read this type every so often, two in a row is too much. Marriage of convenience type. However, the mystery part kept me reading- especially at the end. "
— Cheryl-Lynn, 7/9/2012" An enjoyable read, predictable to a point (as are most Christian romantic fictions), but a good book to relax into. "
— Mel, 7/4/2012" I love the way colleen coble writes, although i have to say that i could predict everything that happened b4 it happened in this book. "

— Nessy96, 3/11/2012" I loved this series for its action that blends flawlessly with the romance. This book did not disappoint! Though it could get confusing at times it kept me guessing until the end which is what I really look for in a book...well that and a well written plot of course! "
— Hannah, 1/31/2012" Gracie flees with her daughter from her wedding to west Texas.They find refuge in the home of Michael aWayne, and try to hide from the cartel. I really enjoyed this book. It was fun and a great romance. Clean, and good fofr a teen. "

— Paula, 5/21/2011" This was a very intriguing story. Cute. <br/>It started to drop off in tension just a little somewhere in the middle but picked right back up. So it ended with a bang. I love Collen Coble. I've read nearly every book that she has written or at least all of the ones that I can find. "
