Matt Henney was a man without a home, but buying into his best friends’ ranch feels as if he’s finally come home. He might now be a broke man but he’s looking forward to planting some roots for the first time in his life and ditch the open road. Signing the contract that makes him a third owner of the Waters Ranch near the remote canyons in Utah brings him a peace that has alluded him.
Hope Whitfield is desperate. She’s on a mission to find out who Hope is and who Hope can be. And on a mission to reconnect with a sister she’s never met; one who doesn’t know she exists. But with no recollection of who she once was, for now all she wants is to live on the land she inherited and keep her head above water. Living on the remote property in Utah seems like a dream come true. The land is hers and she’ll do whatever she has to do to keep it.
For Hope, plans rarely go the way she wishes. She desperately needs her job at the Waters Ranch but every day that passes, she fears it will be her last. Then comes along Matt who has patience with her limitations and is a friendly face she needs to get through each day. But trouble is following Hope; trouble she can’t remember. There is a killer out there and Hope is the only link. Hope and Matt will need to learn to trust each other in order to stop a killer. And to find a love that neither of them was looking for.

Romantic suspense author, or as she likes to say "suspenseful romance", Elizabeth Castle grew up in the heart of the Midwest. Introduced to romance novels at eighteen, she fell in love with the genre, becoming an avid reader. She enjoys different sub-genres, but especially loves stories featuring private detectives, police officers, FBI agents and any other purveyor of justice. Inspired by these stories, she published her first novel in 2017, and now has a dozen titles to her name. She’s a pet mom to two dogs and a cat, all of which she spoils. When not writing, she prefers quiet time at home, crafting, reading, and learning to play the piano. When she does stray from home, she loves taking road trips; her favorite destination is the Florida panhandle where she can relax on the white sand beaches.

I enjoyed this story of starting over. Matt grew up in the foster system and has two good friends that he goes into business with, but in order to get the money to invest, he worked many long, lonely hours. It will be good to have a home and a permanent place to stay. Hope seems useless. All the other workers make fun of her because she is slow moving and a bit clumsy. She started over a couple of years ago and all she wants is to belong somewhere. She can't remember much of her past and that past is catching up with her. Matt sees something in her that others don't and is very patient with her. When danger comes after her, Matt is there to step in and protect her. Can he save her?
