When Texas cowboy Cody Brandon collides—literally—with schoolteacher Julie Stewart at a remote Canadian village store, he knows he’s found the woman he’s been waiting for. She’s beautiful, courageous, and shares his faith. But convincing her protective father that a wandering ranch hand with a troubled past is worthy of his daughter? That’s a mountain even higher than the rugged peaks surrounding them.
Julie never expected to fall in love in the wilderness. Teaching in a one-room school hundreds of miles from civilization was supposed to be an adventure, not the beginning of forever. But Cody’s integrity, kindness, and unwavering faith capture her heart. Just as their future together seems possible, a devastating accident leaves Julie clinging to life—and strips away every memory of the man she loves. Cody’s voice, his face, their tender moments together… all gone.
Forbidden from seeing her by her father, Cody refuses to give up. He writes letters she may never remember reading. He prays for a miracle he may never witness. But in the vast wilderness of British Columbia, where grizzlies roam and wolves howl, some loves are worth fighting for—even when the woman you’d die for doesn’t remember your name. Can faith, patience, and one powerful letter change everything?
Book two in Gary Brumbelow’s series Mountain Ranch Adventures picks up the trailing threads from Someplace North, Someplace Wild.
Wild North, Fair Heart
The original story ends with Cody Brandon headed for Texas but consumed with Canada. His dream is there–a mountain ranch of his own, and his love is there, the beautiful Julie Stewart.
But he was kicked out of the country for a minor infraction and has to reapply. Will his application be approved in time to save a $250K inheritance?
Will Julie be waiting for him? And in the meantime, what will happen to this budding romance, already threated by a father’s opposition?
This second book in the series includes daunting outdoor adventures, a threatened romance, and heart-stopping twists, more than enough for the most demanding reader.
