    There's often an element of truth in most fiction...
    * If you had a second chance, what life choices would you change?Joss has that chance; but does his Wyoming adventure give him the right choices?* His girl, Polly, meets someone else and she discovers who she really is.But where does that leave him?* Polly and Joss become unable to control - let alone understand - what is real and what is imagined.Maybe it ends in tragedy or enlightenment. Does it - and - if so, for whom?
    Home is where the heart finds its untamed truth. Here's what really happened...
    A world away from her rural English life, we join Polly, a young woman embarking on a journey to the vast, windswept grasslands of 1970s Wyoming, seeking a place where her wild heart can finally belong.
    Have you ever felt the pull of a life beyond the horizon? The whisper of a destiny waiting to be claimed? This is her story. A story of daring to chase a dream, even when common sense screams caution.
    With Joss by her side, she ventures into the untamed beauty of the American West, where the spirit of the Lakota Sioux echoes through the canyons and the promise of a new beginning shimmers in the golden sunlight. But the path to belonging is fraught with challenges, and the guardian spirits of the land offer no guarantees. It's a world where the spirit of the West reigns supreme. And the land holds secrets, and the path to belonging is fraught with both beauty and peril.
    "Wild Hearts Come Home" is a feel-good modern Western that explores the depths of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring power of finding your true home. Join Joss and Polly as they forge friendships, face adversity, and discover the magic of a land where wild hearts find their way back.
    Where the soul finds its sanctuary, and the heart discovers its home. Some would call that heaven.
    The author writes: “Similar to its forerunner, WILD HEARTS ROAM FREE, this second story embraces the pioneer spirit within one of the most spellbinding regions of America. It draws in characters and aspects from the Lakota Sioux culture, embracing its spirituality, origins and heritage that, hopefully, will continue to bless a land striving to regain freedom for all.
    My forefathers were privileged to receive the Lakota Sioux Indian, Chief Sitting Bull, as a guest - in their hometown of Exmouth, Devon (!). Over a century later, the story of that visit, handed to me by my father, inspired me to write this fictional account - a make-believe feel-good tale of a land where I once very nearly settled to call home.”
    Perfect for lovers of Longmire, Lonesome Dove, and Dances With Wolves.

    There's a lot of truth in how this western story began - until unreality takes over...
    Contemporary Western Fiction and the modern frontier pioneer
    * Eric and Maggie live the dream in 1960's Wyoming - a modern wild west.
    * Live ranch life alongside them, with adventure just around the corner.
    * This "Western" uncovers a NEW Wild West where modern cowboys work with indigenous Lakota Sioux to build on a legacy left at The Little Bighorn a century before
    A Spiritual and Historical Story - or a Romance steeped in the Paranormal?
    1960s Wyoming: A land where the echo of Custer's last stand still lingers, and the untamed spirit of the Old West collides with the promise of a new era. Eric and Maggie, escaping the confines of industrial England, seek a life where their wild hearts can truly roam free.It's also a land where the spirits of the past whisper on the wind, and the future is forged in the heart of the wild.
    The Lazy B Ranch becomes their gateway to a world of breathtaking grasslands, where the Lakota Sioux's legacy intertwines with the raw beauty of the wilderness. Here, man, animal, and nature clash in a dance as old as time, and the ghosts of the past rise to protect the delicate balance.
    Witness a love story forged in the crucible of the new Wild West, where wolves stalk the plains, mustangs thunder across the horizon, and the legendary white buffalo roams free. Join Eric and Maggie as they navigate a world of untamed beauty, forbidden passions, and the enduring power of the pioneer spirit.
    More than a love story, more than a historical drama – "Wild Hearts Roam Free" is a journey into the soul of the American West. Where dreams are as vast as the open sky, and anything is possible.
    As long as you survive...
