À propos du livre
Will Maria lose her home? Where will she go with her five rescue dogs and a flock of sheep? And what will happen to her family history if the land grab is successful? Read on and find out how David and Maria tackle the sparks that fly after many years apart when he comes home with a Grand Plan for her land.

Lloyd Naugle is a third-generation boat builder. The sign above his workshop door says Naugle and Sons, but his son, David, is a land developer in Toronto, who comes home with a grand plan, not to build boats with his father, but, to change the face of the village. He only has to persuade three people to sell him their land and then his development can proceed.
Lloyd’s apprentice, Maria Kelly, is one of them. She owns her family’s old homestead and keeps a dozen sheep and five rescue dogs. As David attempts to charm, then strong arm, and then reason with her into parting with her cherished land, she works to teach him the value of the lifestyle that he rejected two decades earlier.
Mounting complications delay the groundbreaking of David’s real estate development, and when violence and intimidation take over from rational negotiation the question on everyone’s mind is “Do I trust David Naugle?”
Is David a local boy turned bad by the big city? Or is he innocent, as he claims? Will his family throw him off as he once did them? Or will they rally to support him? Will Maria put aside her suspicions and allow the hope he engendered to flourish? Or will she reject her growing feelings?

À propos du créateur
Kate Langan
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
I love to write and have done so since I was in my teens. I live with my husband and two cats in a cabin in the city overlooking Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. I have over 75 articles published in national and international magazines, and several radio articles aired on CBC Radio One. I won two awards for my first book: The Art of Worship, The Vision and Craft of Contemporary Nova Scotian Artists, (Nimbus Publishing, Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2001).
