Austin Ford has inherited the weight of his family's legacy, overseeing the sprawling Ford Ranch as his father steps back and his siblings forge their own paths. But when his beloved horse, Jack, falls gravely ill, Austin calls upon the new veterinarian in town, igniting a chain of events that will change everything.

Dr. Willow Lawson, a skilled veterinarian, is stunned when she first lays eyes on Austin Ford. The young, handsome rancher is the spitting image of her deceased husband, a shock that causes her to faint right in the horse barn. Determined to overcome the haunting memories, Willow throws herself into her work, even as her heart begins to stir for the charismatic rancher.

As Austin grapples with the strange, unexplained holes appearing on the North Pasture, he is drawn into a deeper mystery. Night flights over the ranch reveal flashing lights in the darkness, suggesting the holes are no mere animal burrows.

Amidst this growing unease, Austin and Willow's budding relationship is tested when her clinic is vandalized, leaving her devastated and out of work. The attacks seem to be more than random acts of violence, especially when Austin's father recounts tales of buried gold hidden on the ranch by their ancestor, Great Grandfather Jeremiah, during the Great Depression.

With prowlers encroaching on his land and his desire to protect Willow intensifying, Austin must navigate the treacherous waters of old family secrets and new-found love. Together, can Austin and Willow unravel the mystery threatening their lives and find solace in each other’s arms? Or will the shadows of the past and present prove too formidable to overcome?

"The Hidden Legacy" is a heart-pounding, romantic adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Book Excerpt

Austin stepped out of the horse barn and waved at the approaching van.

The vet parked her vehicle in front and got out. She marched toward him, her cowgirl boots leaving footprints in the reddish-brown soil. With her tight jeans and ponytail, she looked as if she should be working on a ranch instead of running a veterinarian’s office.

How could that petite woman manage to treat a large horse like Jack without help? She couldn’t have been more than five foot two. Dark brown almond eyes hinted of an Asian heritage. 

Austin took a couple of steps toward her. “Thanks for coming. Jack’s in here.”

She held out her hand. “I’m Dr. Willow Lawson. Nice to—” Willow’s eyes met his, and she stared for a moment. Then she gripped her throat and gasped. “No, it can’t be …” She screamed and gasped again. “You’re dead.”
