The Two Sides of Windale Mountain

A heartwarming and emotional rural romance about believing in yourself, standing up for what's right, and learning to be loved, from the author of Second Chance Station.

Emery Shaw has come a long way, from the girl ready to throw herself off an overpass to trusted farmhand on Windale Mountain Station. Armed with a diagnosis that has turned her world around, Emery has her life under control, even if her condition has her convinced she's unlovable.

Dustin Granger has been keeping his head down, avoiding the town so no one can find out the truth about where he's been. He's working hard to earn Granger Stud, but his father's conditions are clear: Barty won't retire until Dustin finds a wife.

When Emery has to unexpectedly take charge just as shearing season approaches, her anxiety is at an all-time high. She finds comfort in secret evenings by the creek with Dustin, whose quiet support helps build her confidence.

But the rivalry between Granger Stud and Windale Mountain Station is strong. Between Barty undermining Emery and sending Dustin on unwanted blind dates, and an unwelcome face from Dustin's past threatening everything, their relationship seems doomed. What will it take for Dustin to stand up to his father—and for Emery to accept the love he's offering? Can these star-crossed lovers breach the divide of Windale Mountain? Or will their hearts be lost in the battle?
