Sometimes the hardest thing to rebuild isn’t a ranch—it’s a heart.

Jax Rivers doesn’t do roots. Raised in foster care and now a successful businessman, he’s used to flipping failing ventures and moving on. Inheriting a run-down Colorado ranch from the grandfather who once abandoned him? Definitely not part of the plan. Neither is the beautiful, headstrong neighbor who seems determined to challenge him at every turn.

Lacey Black knows how to save a ranch, but not a man with a chip on his shoulder and one foot out the door. Volunteered by her father to help restore the place, she vows to stay professional and ignore the sparks that Jax ignites. But her own life has taken a turn she didn’t ask for, and she’s leaning hard on God to help her find a way forward.

As long-buried truths come to light and the ranch begins to feel like home, Jax and Lacey must decide if they’re willing to trust God—and each other—with the future they never expected to find.

Note:
The Edge of Belonging will be Book 1 in the new Steele Family Circle series, but is also Book 6 in the Black Rock Ranch series. It is not necessary to read Black Rock Ranch first.

Fans of
grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity, and wounded heroes with a heart of gold will fall for this emotionally rich, faith-filled romance set in small-town Colorado. Add in a reluctant inheritance, a heroine with a hidden health struggle, and a slow-burn journey toward healing, hope, and home, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for love with heart and depth.
