Gifted Bride for the Horse Whisperer (Fortune In Ely Series)

An old friend…a new love…and…a stranger on a mission?

Natalie Montgomery—Natty to her friends—has been friends with Frankie Nye for as long as she can remember. Their friendship seems to grow closer with each passing year, but she’s only just now beginning to realize that perhaps he means more to her than she ever dreamed would be possible. She’s started to see him as the handsome man he’s been for years, the kind of man she could stand beside as a proud wife.

To Frankie, the only thing on his mind is a gift, something that is keeping him awake at night, and he has to share it with someone. His good friend Natty is the best choice, but when circumstances nearly take her from him during a terrible thunderstorm, he knows that suddenly his friend means more to him than he’d ever imagined.

Now the only thing standing in the way of telling her about his feelings is a strange man who comes with a group of other strangers in the middle of the night. The Nye’s ranch house will never be the same, but neither will Frankie’s heart. His best friend has captured it, but the stranger has captured her, so it’s time to act swiftly.

When a flood destroys much of the family’s land with mud, can Frankie find a way to get back the woman of his dreams?

Or will the other man’s dreams of happily ever after be the one that come true at last?
