I enjoyed this book so much. Amanda Cabot is a wonderful writer and I really enjoy reading her books. This is the story about Evelyn and Wyatt. Evelyn is trying to escape the "Watcher" and ends up in Mesquite Springs where Wyatt gives Evelyn and a child whom is believed to be Evelyn's sister a place to stay. Wyatt is determined to leave Mesquite Springs because he is not happy being a horse rancher and isn't looking to fall in love. Is Evelyn everything he has been looking for? Read this story and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Evelyn's parents were murdered ten years ago. While selling lace and buying supplies in a nearby town, someone burns down the orphanage where she had been staying since that fateful night. Evelyn has felt like she has been being watched every time she journeys to this town. Is the Watcher trying to finish the job he started a decade ago?

This book was unexpectedly wonderful. There was a web created, but is it the web you think is being created? Filled with so many facets and layers it is hard to figure out what will happen while reading it. The novel itself has great pacing, not too fast, not too slow. There is a lot of character development, danger, intrigue, hope, etc.

Thank you to Revell and NetGalley for an advance reader copy. The opinions expressed are my own.

When the orphanage they’d lived in was completely destroyed by fire, Evelyn and Polly go off in search of a new home. The girls end up on a road in Texas during a thunderstorm, huddled together as they are found by Wyatt, a rancher who raises racehorses.
Wyatts’ mother and sister are surprised by their two guests, and they make them feel at home.
Evelyn finds a job cooking in a restaurant and she and Polly live above the restaurant.
Evelyns’ cooking attracts all the eligible single men in the town, especially Sam, who is running for mayor. But Evelyn is attracted to Wyatt, who is restless to make his fortune somewhere else.
Polly has a secret, her last name is a secret, and a person with that last name visits town looking at racehorses...
