The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer

Fate had not smiled on her yet. Could she shoot this man? She’d never killed anyone before. Emma Rosales is the he iress to the largest ranch in Texas-The Thorn. All of the responsibilities of managing a million acres now fall into her fifth-generation hands. A task Emma could handle with her eyes closed... if The Thorn was any ordinary property. The Thorn is home to many things. Clear, cloudless skies. Miles of desert scrub and craggy mountains. A quiet disrupted only by whispers of the wind. And an ancient web of secrets that won't let Emma out alive without a fight. The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch is a family saga as large as the state of Texas. "The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Daily takes heroine Emma and hero, Kai, on an adventurous journey across a vast South Texas canvas filled with unforgettable characters and a storyline that will have you turning the pages to see how each scene unfolds. It is a novel that combines mystery, suspense, adventure, and a romance that neither hardships nor time can erase between the main characters."-Debra Holt, award-winning, multi-published Texas author of series such as The Tremaynes of Texas and The Lawmen Series.

"A dignified, passionate, and layered tale in a rugged yet picturesque landscape... This book testifies to the rewards of fighting for enduring connections between family members and home." - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
