As a child growing up in Holley, Texas Lyndie James knew she loved
Jake Porter. Their friendship ended when
the preadolescent Lyndie moved to California. Though she has not seen Jake since they were
tweener BFFs skipping stones, Lyndie never forgot her first love. Now two decades later Lyndie returns to Holley
to take care of her ailing sister.
Iraq War Marine veteran Jake returns home suffering from
PTSD. Though he has doubts whether he is
ready to hire his childhood buddy to work with thoroughbreds at his family
Whispering Creek Ranch, Jake does so anyway.
As her enthusiasm for life reenergizes Jake, he reconsiders his lost
belief in a God who allowed the horrors he witnessed and participated in the
war. Soon the one-time best buddies fall
in love, but though this is what she has wanted forever, he feels unworthy.
The third Porter sibling contemporary (Undeniably Yours and Meant to be Mine)
is an uplifting Christian romance starring a pert lead female (perhaps to
perky) and a fractured former marine.
The delightful storyline focuses on hope if a person has faith in the
Lord and his/her beloved mate. The
flashback to the prime cause of Jake’s mental state enhances a wonderful tale.
