Horsemen of Cross Roads Farm, Book 1

Kip Lorimer needs to disappear, fast. The woman who long ago shattered his trust has tracked him down again, and leaving Texas feels like his only choice. Living out of his truck and horse trailer, Kip sets out for North Carolina, where he plans to deliver a rescue horse to an equine therapy center, then find a new place and start over.

Special education teacher Sheridan Cross carries her own scars. After a betrayal that rocked her family, she has promised herself she’ll never trust another stranger. But when Kip Lorimer shows up at her family’s equine therapy farm with a gentle horse and a guarded smile, neither of them anticipates the healing God has in store.

When Sheridan’s mother offers Kip a job as barn manager, Sheridan decides she’d better stay close enough to keep an eye on the stranger in their midst. Yet the more time she spends with him, the more she sees the steady, honorable heart he hides beneath a mask of quiet control.

As old secrets surface and past hurts collide with present hopes, Kip and Sheridan must each decide whether to keep running or to trust that God can heal their wounded hearts. Will they cling to fear and regret, or risk everything on a love that could finally set them free?

What readers are saying . . .

“A Horseman’s Heart has an absolutely amazing cast of characters. I’ve never seen anything like it in my reading of over 1,500 romances. I was rooting for everybody. I think there are more ‘feel good moments’ per page in this book than are found in most romances.” —Amazon review

“A BOOK WITH HEART THAT WILL STEAL YOURS…Myra Johnson is one of those rare authors whose books I always look forward to with great anticipation because frankly, when it comes to great romance, the woman is a sure thing. Although I am primarily a historical reader, for the space of one breathless book, I am a contemporary reader, falling in love as quickly as gun-shy Sheridan Cross falls for cowboy horse trainer Kip Lorimer despite guarded suspicions each harbor from a painful past. If you are looking for a great romance that will warm your heart, race your pulse and inspire your soul, look no further than A Horseman’s Heart, truly another wonderful read from the pen of Myra Johnson.”—ChristianBook.com review

“An uplifting story. . . . I loved the characters and the way the author used vocabulary and figures of speech to paint colorful pictures of both the characters and the setting.”—a reader

“A Horseman’s Heart is the best book I have read in quite some time! . . . I have read many romance novels where the man and woman meet, have problems to solve and then are able to have their happy ever after. Myra Johnson’s stories don’t seem to follow the typical ebb and flow we have come to expect from romance novels. Her stories seem richer and more developed. Always a pleasant surprise!” —Amazon.com review

“Interesting and Brilliant story. Very well written with great characters. I’d highly recommend this book if you like a good love story!”—ChristianBook.com review
