Reeks: Colorado Dreams and Desires
Sandra S. Kerns
- Peace
- is
- a
- gift
- you
- sometimes
- have
- to
- walk
- through
- fire
- to
- receive.Roman
- Smirnosky
- wants
- nothing
- more
- than
- to
- work
- and
- be
- left
- alone.
- After
- years
- of
- being
- on
- his
- own
- and
- building
- a
- business,
- he
- thinks
- he's
- finally
- found
- peace.
- All
- that
- changes
- with
- a
- single
- phone
- call
- informing
- him
- his
- brother
- is
- in
- the
- hospital
- and
- his
- parents
- are
- dead,
- murdered.
- Returning
- to
- the
- town
- he
- left
- behind
- sixteen
- years
- ago,
- he
- soon
- realizes,
- helping
- his
- brother
- is
- the
- easy
- part
- of
- returning.
- Someone
- has
- moved
- into
- the
- old
- Beecher
- place.
- A
- female
- someone.
- He
- figures
- if
- nothing
- else,
- offering
- to
- help
- with
- repairs
- on
- the
- Beecher
- house
- while
- he
- attends
- to
- his
- brother's
- farm
- during
- his
- recovery
- will
- provide
- a
- welcome
- distraction
- from
- the
- nightmarish
- memories
- that
- haunt
- him
- since
- his
- return
- home.
- He
- quickly
- realizes
- he
- couldn't
- be
- more
- wrong
- when
- accidents
- and
- threatening
- phone
- calls
- start
- to
- plague
- the
- young
- woman.
- He’s
- definitely
- no
- hero,
- but
- walking
- away
- from
- a
- fight
- isn't
- his
- way
- either.
- It
- doesn't
- hurt
- that
- her
- determination
- and
- strength
- tempt
- him
- to
- distraction
- and
- his
- quiet,
- solitary
- life
- is
- about
- to
- be
- thrown
- into
- chaos.Kaia
- Beecher’s
- inheritance
- is
- a
- mixed
- blessing.
- It
- means
- the
- parents
- she
- adored
- are
- gone
- and
- she’s
- heartbroken.
- However,
- it
- also
- gives
- her
- the
- opportunity
- to
- change
- the
- direction
- of
- her
- life.
- After
- breaking
- off
- her
- engagement
- and
- losing
- a
- job
- her
- heart
- wasn't
- really
- into,
- she
- decides
- to
- return
- to
- the
- one
- place
- she
- can
- where
- she
- has
- happy
- memories,
- her
- grandparents'
- farm
- in
- Colorado.
- The
- farm
- couldn’t
- be
- more
- different
- from
- the
- high-pressure
- life
- of
- her
- criminal
- defense
- career
- in
- New
- York.
- Packing
- the
- few
- things
- she
- wants
- to
- keep
- and
- her
- dog
- Copernicus,
- she
- heads
- west
- in
- search
- of
- peace.What
- she
- finds
- instead
- is
- fear,
- distrust,
- and
- threats.
- Even
- the
- handsome
- man
- offering
- to
- help
- her
- repair
- the
- farmhouse
- tells
- her
- she
- should
- leave.
- If
- people
- hate
- her
- family
- so
- much,
- why
- didn’t
- her
- father
- sell
- the
- farm?
- Why
- is
- everyone
- determined
- to
- run
- her
- off
- her
- property?
- She's
- determined
- to
- find
- out
- why
- someone
- wants
- her
- gone
- and
- she
- won't
- leave
- until
- she
- has
- the
- answers.
- She's
- also
- determined
- to
- break
- down
- the
- walls
- Roman
- has
- built
- around
- his
- heart
- and
- help
- him
- stop
- living
- in
- the
- past.
- She
- only
- hopes
- that
- her
- inquisitive
- nature
- along
- with
- pure
- stubbornness
- will
- help
- her
- find
- the
- answers.
- Or,
- will
- her
- caller
- take
- her
- chance
- at
- love
- away
- before
- it
- has
- a chance?
