Books like The winning heart by Norma Jean Lutz
After her grandfather's death, Kassie Lenz vows to honor his wishes and bring her estranged, older sister back to Wyoming. The change of scenery proves difficult: the tight‑knit family home and stables in Virginia feel stifling compared with the wide, open spaces of her former ranch life.
Kassie's daily routines among horses draw her closer to Loren, a talented steward who shares her love of equine companionship. But Loren carries a complex past; his powerful father dominates the local political arena, and under his influence lurks a web of double‑dealing and deception.
As Kassie and Loren grow intimate, the line between trust and betrayal blurs, casting doubt over her own identity. Will the wild spirit of a Wyoming rancher—whose “winning heart” was first pledged to faith—survive the shadows of politics and family machinations?
