In a desperate struggle to keep her ranch that the bank is threatening to take away, she realizes she is in enormous trouble. She understands the only thing that will save her is a major miracle. IAN CONNER a widower and roving ranch hand arrives on Brianna’s ranch looking for a job. He refuses to accept Brianna’s no for an answer. He knows her cattle are sick and a possible lethal epidemic is spreading through the herd that could kill all her cattle in a matter of days. In a battle of wills, Brianna finally relents and allows him to help her tend her sick herd. While Brianna is at the bank trying to solve her dilemma with the loan officer, Ian discovers Brianna’s oldest daughter, DAWN, is a child in great emotional pain. After hearing her tell him about how she feels, he decides not to become involved with this grieving family. Ian decides he will be leaving in three days. Only Brianna has just offered his services for two years free room and board in exchange for the chance to save her ranch. Now all she has to do is convince him to stay. REVIEWS: Review By: Denise M. Clark (AUTHOR) October 9, 2001 Denise Clark's debut historical action/romance, "Cross the Line", was released this past May. Her second, "A Man's War", is set for release this coming winter or spring of 2002. "Distant Thunder is a story about two people struggling with grief. Brianna has endured more than her share of hardships, both physically and mentally, and feels vulnerable to Ian’s confident, take-charge ranching skills. The setting moves from the cow pens of a sprawling ranch to the courtroom, all the while keeping the reader curious about the reason behind Brianna’s husband’s death, but at the same time building upon the growing attraction between Brianna, Ian, and their unvoiced fears of taking a chance on love again..." Other Reviews: "Well, done. A solid beginning. I don't pretend to know the first thing about working with cattle, but after reading this I feel like I could do it… The character development here is smooth and seamless." Barry Jive "Another good one. This made me tear up at several points. Not many books do that to me these days. I was so caught up in the story from the first page that I could not put it down until I was finished."
