Summary

Twenty-year-old Meriwether Walker enjoys the challenge of teaching her varied group of students in the one-room schoolhouse. What she doesn't like is the nomadic lifestyle that comes with it as she rotates boarding with families in the community on a month-to-month basis.

Meriwether longs for a home of her own, but since single female teachers have to follow so many rules, she doesn't see any end to her plight, until the letter from the attorney handling her uncle's estate arrives.

When Meriwether discovers her uncle left her his ranch - the one she loved to visit when she was a child - she quit her job and moved without hesitation to Trickling Springs, Texas, to take over her property. But when she arrives, deed in hand, she discovers her decision has put her at odds with Jake Harrison, the man who rents property from her uncle and seeks to buy the land and water rights for his cattle.

They butt heads, tempers flare, but Meriwether stands her ground. Yet, she can't deny the romantic sparks that fly, and she can tell it's mutual. When he comes courting, can she trust Jake Harrison, or is his real attraction the property and the water rights he needs that she has inherited?

Sweet, romantic, historical story

I was given a free copy of this audio book by the author in return for an honest review and here it is. I
Enjoyed listening to this story. It is a historical, fictional, romance story. It was very easy to listen to and had a feel good vibe. Each chapter begins with a short bible verse. Though I am not particularly religious, I feel these did add a nice touch to the book. If you are looking for a sweet, romantic story then this story is for you

J Scott narration is always a joy to listen to .



Meriwether Walker is a young twenty year old woman, teaching in a one room school house teacher. There were also some good, clean, romance scenes.
