When unexpected circumstances take Mercy Rae Harrison and her parents, Jeb & Carla, all the way to Fort Worth, TX, leaving Canadian was the hardest thing she'd ever done, especially at the age of thirteen.
Ten years later, after Jeb passes away, his last wish was for his daughter to return to her birthplace and take care of a piece of land that he left to her.
Two hundred acres of beautiful farming land, with a ranch house, barn and manmade pond on the land, how could Mercy Rae say no?
His will states that the ranch has the legal name of The Circle M, but little did he know that Mathis Gillis, the richest man in Canadian had his sites set on her land.
Gillis will stop at nothing while trying to drive the young woman from her home, and thinking her weak, he finds out just how strong Mercy Rae really is with her family and friends standing beside her.
Meanwhile, she meets a handsome cowboy who owns a ranch a couple of miles from hers, and sparks fly as the two get to know each other; taking on old flames who want nothing more than to take out the new competition.
Enjoy this story as it unfolds and Mercy Rae is reunited with past friends and in the process makes new ones.

Reilly Jones works at Ruby's Inn. A prominent diner in Red Oak. She's young, naive and last but certainly not least, one of the only black waitresses working there. She tries to keep a low profile and to herself but little does she know she's on the radar of every guy in a five-mile radius of the Ruby's. However, she thinks herself an average girl, like any other.

That and she longs to be important ... a least to someone. Gerard Grant always gets the girl.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken.
