Hoping on Change. Hope Lake, #1

She came to Hope Lake looking for a quiet place to breathe. She never expected a wounded cowboy and his teenage niece to make her feel at home-or the danger that would follow her there. Therapist Megan Murray has spent years helping others heal while quietly hiding secrets of her own. Hope Lake was supposed to be temporary-a fresh start tucked deep in the mountains where no one knew her name. Then her car breaks down on a dark mountain road, and a rugged cowboy with guarded eyes steps out of the shadows.
Tyler Durango knows trouble when he sees it. Since returning home from war to raise his orphaned niece, protecting the people he loves has become second nature. Opening his carefully guarded life to a stranger?That's a risk he can't afford. But Megan slips into their lives anyway-sharing late-night conversations in the kitchen, helping his niece smile again, and slowly becoming part of the fragile peace Tyler has fought hard to rebuild.
Until threatening messages and dangerous encounters make one thing clear:Megan's past has found her. As fear closes in and secrets unravel, Tyler will do whatever it takes to protect the woman who's become far more than a stranger. But keeping Megan safe may mean risking the only family either of them has left. Escape to Hope Lake, where protective cowboys, found family, and hope-filled romantic suspense create the kind of emotional refuge readers never want to leave.
Hoping on Change is a clean cowboy romance filled with emotional healing, rising danger, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Reading Order for Hope LakeHoping on Forever (prequel)Hoping on ChangeHoping on ForgivenessHoping on LoveHoping on TomorrowHoping on ChanceHoping on Faith
