The military informed the matriarch of the Rayford family of Rusted Spur, Texas that
terrorists killed her son Ian. In a
mental haze, the former Army captain, guided by the image in his shattered mind
of the woman he loves, walks towards his North Texas ranch though suffering
from memory loss, PTSD and physical injuries.
When his brother Zach (see Lone Star
Redemption) gives him a ride, Ian fails to recognize his euphoric
sibling.
At the Marston unit of the Warriors 4 Life Rehabilitation Center,
former Army Colonel Julian Ross assigns his fiancée psychologist Dr. Andrea
Warrington to help the “Texas Miracle” Ian recover. Andrea explains to Julian that she was Ian’s
fiancée, but ended their relationship because she could not deal with his
unexplained absences. With major
reservations, Andrea agrees to stay at the ranch for two weeks to help Ian. As they work together, their love remains
strong; but assault from an adversary has both believing that this unknown foe
wants to insure Ian never remembers what happened in theater.
The second Rayford family drama is
an intriguing romantic suspense in which the mental state of the Wounded
Warrior supersedes his reunion return from the dead and the attacks on him and
his beloved. Driven by the relationship
between the fabulous lead couple before Ian died and in the present, the story
line is filled with action and a twist that adds tension but also simplifies
the plot.
