Beschreibung

Council house life in the tough end of South East London is no joke.
Life in those days revolved around the betting shop, the working mans club, fights, mundane working life, boredom, alcohol and who ever you can take home and hopefully alleviate what can best be described as a crippling waste. Failing the 11+ in 1959 meant you were consigned to the scrap heap of life. The fact that I could put 2 and 2 together and signed my name meant that the delightful Sedgehill Secondary Modern had fulfilled it`s obligation regarding supplying me with an education, at fifteen years of age I was on the streets but something inside knew this life was not for me. Salvation came in a Chinese Take away when I was standing there somewhat inebriated a former apprentice colleague came in looking as fit as a butchers dog "God you look a mess" was his`s opening line. He invited me to a Council run sub aqua club which he has a heavy involvement with, I never looked back. It was made clear to me from the off that sub-aqua can be a dangerous sport when it goes wrong and if you are not prepared to take responsibility for yourself and your diving partner there`s the door. I took the responsibility onboard and partnered some very nice people and was given advice and direction. Denis O`Callaghan, Alan Bennett and the late Tom Shanly, I will always be eternally grateful.
To those that feel as I was LOST, believe me it`s out there, you just have to go and find it.

    He’s the town’s most dependable cowboy with a heart longing for more. She’s a fiercely independent homesteader barely holding her world together. When Brandon shows up on Lenore's doorstep after she puts out a desperate plea for help, neither of them expects the spark to be quite so hot…or quite so promising. 
    Brandon Rhinehart has spent his whole life in Three Rivers, running Hidden Hills Ranch with his brothers and watching as their lives flourish while his own seems to stand still. He’s tired of waiting for God’s plan to reveal itself, and his optimism is beginning to falter. So when a desperate plea for a cowhand pops up on the job board, Brandon decides to leave the familiarity of Hidden Hills behind for something new—a struggling homestead on the edge of town and a woman who’s as headstrong as she is beautiful. 
    Lenore Sawyer isn’t looking for a cowboy—or anyone, for that matter. After the death of her parents, she’s thrown everything she has into keeping their off-grid homestead alive, but the harsh Texas Panhandle weather and endless struggles have left her weary in body and soul. With no one else to turn to, she reluctantly hires Brandon and braces herself to keep the charming, broad-shouldered cowboy at arm’s length. 
    As they rebuild her battered farm, Brandon calls on his brothers, friends, and faith to help Lenore see that she doesn’t have to struggle alone. And little by little, her grumpy exterior softens to the steady sunshine he brings into her life. 
    Both Brandon and Lenore have given up believing in happy endings—until now. Can they let go of their past pain and trust in God, and each other, enough to forge a new future together?
