One Last Letter is the story of Evelyn Lancaster, a romantic
hardened by reality, and Jesse Greenwood, a cowboy returning to what he left
behind. The rough, reticent cowboy returns to Texas with new wealth to save his
first love's ranch from financial ruin while she hopes for a second chance
after she was forced to spurn him years ago. Will one last letter give them the
courage to say yes to love on the wild Texas plains?
Enchanting Excerpt:
Evelyn Lancaster wanted to run away as fast as possible.
It was a mistake. It was one colossal, gargantuan mistake.
Worse than Athens ordering the death of Socrates. Worse than Persephone being
kidnapped by Hades. What did she think she was going to do? Seconds ticked by
as she found herself unable to say anything more. Her mouth felt dry. What was
she supposed to say?
He’d changed, more than she would have ever imagined
possible. The boyish frame was filled out, and extra years working on the ranch
had defined the muscles in his arms under his coarse brown shirt. He’d even
grown taller—past six feet, she guessed. His shoulders were broader, and his
cheekbones seemed more pronounced than before. His face carried even more of an
aristocratic air, but his body seemed undeniably more masculine.
Yet the expression was the same. Jesse Greenwood’s same
reticent, admiring expression hadn’t changed as he continued to stare at her
like she was hand-blown glass. His brown hair still flopped lightly in front of
his eyes, causing him to brush it away.
“Hey, Eve.”
She cleared her throat. She’d anticipated the awkwardness
but not the simple difficulty in forming words. “I returned home a few hours
ago. I thought I should stop by and say hello. Is Preston here? Are any of the
other ranch hands here?”
Jesse blinked. The adoring expression morphed to one of
disbelief. “Eve, did you get my letters?”
She bit her lip. “I did.” Evelyn resisted the urge to embrace
him. Doing so would only make it harder to answer his questions with a lie.
Instead, she stood rooted to the spot. She wouldn’t move a muscle; there was
too much she could regret. “They were nice letters. Thank you. But I burned
them.”
