Saving the Broken Cowboy

Book excerpt: Mason Clayborne has made mistakes, and now he’s paying the price. After conspiring with his father to force his cousins into selling the family ranch—an act that left one cousin shot—he is determined to earn his forgiveness. Clara Foster is no stranger to feeling like an outsider. Her mother died from an overdose, and when she thought she’d finally found a home, the father of her baby chose another woman. Her heart breaks, not from the rejection but because she sacrifices her desire to be a mother to give her daughter a chance she never had with a real family. Mason risks the progress with his family when Clara returns to the ranch to donate bone marrow to her daughter to prevent her leukemia from returning. But when complications arise because Clara doesn’t reveal to the doctors about her postpartum myocarditis, a reaction to anesthesia causes her heart to stop several times, leaving her in a weakened state. The Claybornes insists she move back to the ranch to recover since she has no money, no place to live, and no family. As Clara struggles with the heartbreak of being close to the daughter she loves but believes she can never be a mother to, Mason stands by her, determined to show his family how much Clara has changed—and how much they’ve contributed to the family’s deep divide. But will Mason’s loyalty be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or will the fractured Clayborne family crumble under the weight of their mistakes? In Saving the Broken Cowboy, love, faith, and forgiveness are tested as two hearts learn to heal, not just each other, but a family on the brink of collapse.
