In the heart-warming conclusion to Jansen Schmidt’s Family Ties series, set against the enchanting backdrop of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a love story begins, igniting a spark of hope and weaving destinies into a tapestry of love and healing.

After the sudden and violent death of her husband, Mesa Adler buys a cabin in the wilds of Jackson Hole, Wyoming hoping to escape her grief. But the fresh start she hoped for turns out to be more than a fixer-upper in a new town—it’s an isolated property, a challenging environment, and full of unexpected surprises. Not the least of which is Noble Jabeaux, a carpenter with quiet, irresistible charm.

Military Veteran, Noble Jabeaux, traded his nomadic career for the less rigid life of a carpenter in Jackson Hole. While running an errand for a friend, he encounters Mesa and little Merrick alone at a rundown cabin in the woods. Curiosity about the aloof pair engages a sense of protectiveness. And undeniable attraction. Offering to help her remodel the cabin seems a simple solution. But life is about to get a lot more complicated when sparks fly, emotions deepen, and unhealed wounds reopen.

When Merrick is wrongfully taken by her grieving grandmother, Mesa faces the fight of her life to regain custody. With time running out, Noble may be the only man who can help. As the fight for her daughter intensifies, Mesa must face her deepest fears, confront her grief, and learn how to untie her heart from the love she lost to embrace the one she never expected.

In the mountains, some hearts are hard to let go of…others are worth risking everything for.
