After the storm

From the author of After That Mountain, a moving story of redemption in the search for love. Tyler Steele is a Texas Ranger, one of the last of a dying breed—a modern-day cowboy living in a world that doesn't understand his instinct to deliver justice and defend those in need. However, despite his strong moral compass, Tyler fails to recognize his greatest weaknesses. His rigid demeanor, essential to his job, has left him withdrawn, incapable of establishing a genuine emotional connection, something his wife, Andie, desperately needed. Now retired at 41, raising his son Brodie alone and at risk of losing his ranch, Tyler doesn't know how to rebuild his life. Until one day, distracted during a storm, he crashes into a broken-down car parked in the middle of the road. That's when he meets Samantha and her little daughter, Hope, who are fleeing a seemingly impossible situation. They both find themselves in danger, desperate, and alone. Although he's only just met them, Tyler knows he can help them; after all, protecting innocents is his specialty. And as his relationship with Sam and Hope develops, he realizes he'll have to face his true weaknesses to become the man he needs to be.
