Romantic excerpt from The Hidden Legacy by June Foster:
Willow’s skin tingled. Telling Austin now made it all the more real. She stared at his face, and a chill rushed her spine. She pinched her arm. This man isn’t Jesse, this man isn’t Jesse. Lord, help me. I think I’m losing my mind.
A warm hand covered hers. “Willow, are you okay?”
She opened her mouth, but no words emerged. She sighed. Austin was so like her husband. Temptation began to press on her—to believe that Jesse had returned from the dead to be a part of her life again. But no. People didn’t ordinarily rise from the dead—except, of course, Jesus Christ, God’s Son. “I’m sure this is hard to hear. At first, I didn’t want to tell you, but now I can’t keep it a secret any longer.” She gripped both hands in her lap.
Austin studied her face, her brows, her lips, her chin. “What are you trying to tell me?”
Willow took the risk. In moments, he’d know what her heart had said for days now. “I am beginning to find feelings for Austin Ford who is an exact copy of my husband, Jesse, and I’m so confused.”
Reader Question: What do you think you’d like the most about living on a sheep ranch? The least?

About the book – The Hidden Legacy (Ford Family Ranch series – Book 2):
Austin Ford has inherited the weight of his family’s legacy, overseeing the sprawling Ford Ranch as his father steps back and his siblings forge their own paths. But when his beloved horse, Jack, falls gravely ill, Austin calls upon the new veterinarian in town, igniting a chain of events that will change everything.
Dr. Willow Lawson, a skilled veterinarian, is stunned when she first lays eyes on Austin Ford. The young, handsome rancher is the spitting image of her deceased husband, a shock that causes her to faint right in the horse barn. Determined to overcome the haunting memories, Willow throws herself into her work, even as her heart begins to stir for the charismatic rancher.
As Austin grapples with the strange, unexplained holes appearing on the North Pasture, he is drawn into a deeper mystery. Night flights over the ranch reveal flashing lights in the darkness, suggesting the holes are no mere animal burrows.
Amidst this growing unease, Austin and Willow’s budding relationship is tested when her clinic is vandalized, leaving her devastated and out of work. The attacks seem to be more than random acts of violence, especially when Austin’s father recounts tales of buried gold hidden on the ranch by their ancestor, Great Grandfather Jeremiah, during the Great Depression.
With prowlers encroaching on his land and his desire to protect Willow intensifying, Austin must navigate the treacherous waters of old family secrets and new-found love. Together, can Austin and Willow unravel the mystery threatening their lives and find solace in each other’s arms? Or will the shadows of the past and present prove too formidable to overcome?
“The Hidden Legacy” is a heart-pounding, romantic adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
