Keeping Her Safe
About
She fixes hearts for a living. No one has ever taken care of hers. Boston cardiologist Robin Sullivan counts everything: her pulse, a horse's stride, the days until she has to return home. Autistic, exacting, and overdue for a break, she arrives at Sacred Peaks Ranch for two weeks, the first real time off she has taken in nine years. Then she meets Moira Huang: eight months pregnant, mid-divorce, and far more comfortable rebuilding a little red cabin than talking about what she needs. Moira notices Robin's counting, her startling honesty, and the care beneath every precise word. And she fixes what's broken before anyone asks. Moira's been doing the same thing for months, alone, and she recognizes it on sight. But a baby is coming, Robin's flight back to Boston is waiting, and Moira has already learned what it costs to build a future around someone who might leave. At seven thousand feet, with a ranch full of found family ready to put another mug on the table, Robin and Moira must decide whether two unexpected weeks can become the beginning of a life neither woman planned for, but both might finally want.

Praise For This Book
"When I read a sapphic ranch romance from Annie Wiest it invokes the same feelings I get when watching an episode of Bob Ross’ Joy of Painting. … It feels like coming home. By the end of the story tears were trickling down my face … this story wanted my tears and I willingly gave them. They were happy tears after all."
