The incident on the front cover drew my attention and as soon as I turned the book over ? a glimpse of what happened next! The description on the back cover starts with ?When a recovering romantic goes to work for a handsome ranch owner, her heart?s not the only thing in danger?. No indeed! Adelaide Proctor was raised by her father on a horse ranch but when he died all she is left with as a reminder of her father?s love, is her horse Sheba who she has kept with her through the years of living with her Aunt, her training to be a teacher and her two years teaching at Cisco, Texas. She longs to be part of a family and find a hero as Jane Eyre does in her favourite novel. Her first ?hero? turns out to be nothing of the sort and she realises that she needs to ?wait on God? not rush off on a whim. How she finds herself governess to a traumatised motherless little girl and what happens then, will keep you reading to the small hours if you are anything like me.
