    About this ebook

    Josie Compton's heart was broken. Without her husband and her son, she didn't want to live, but Brace Walker was determined to make her change her mind even though all she wanted to do was give up.

    Brace Walker always had a soft spot in his heart for Josie. With her married to his friend, he pushed those thoughts aside, but now that her husband was gone and her son, he was determined to make her see that life was worth living. All it took was love, faith, and hope.
