Before Summer Ends

Brooke Loring thinks spending the summer on a friend’s guest ranch in Colorado will be the ideal opportunity to relax and develop her skills as a potter, but when she meets shy little Lissa Tanner and her stubborn rancher father, relaxation becomes a thing of the past!

The child is darling, and Brooke’s potter’s wheel and kindness help bring Lissa out of her shell—but Dad presents a problem. In spite of their attraction to each other, Cole is sure Brooke can’t adapt to ranch life and refuses to give their relationship a chance. The experience he had with Lissa’s mother was enough! But Brooke adores the ranch; the family atmosphere, the mountain grandeur…even the isolation, which gives her time for her work—and she loves Lissa and Cole. Can she ever convince him that she’s different, or will the coming of autumn cool their love once and for all?
