Tides of Change: a low country story

Some dreams last forever…
Sophie Cameron can’t seem to catch a break. As she mourns the sudden death of her father, she finds his business deep in debt and on the brink of bankruptcy. Mystic Hills, the centerpiece of Cameron lands, has always been a special place to Sophie. She's determined her father won't be the Cameron who loses Mystic Hills and the lands her Scots-Irish ancestors settled generations ago.

Sophie sells her marketing agency in Tampa, moves home to Central Kentucky, and takes on the task of modernizing the outdated amenities at Cameron Stables. But the deeper she digs into the business's financial records, the more dire the situation becomes, and the dream of revival becomes more difficult.

Sophie meets a ‘Marlboro Man’ look-a-like cowboy in the meadow while on an early morning ride to Mystic Peak. He's a stranger, recently hired by a neighboring farm, but he’s different from the usual, local ‘pretend’ cowboys. He’s seasoned, a toughened range-rider, a little rough around the edges—an authentic Western cowboy.

Cowboy Zach has secrets, knows more about Sophie than she realizes, and for a range riding cowboy he’s very business savvy. He offers to help Sophie with her staffing needs and suggest an odd labor source—young men who have aged out of foster care.

As the attraction between Zach and Sophie steadily builds, events come to light that threaten to derail their relationship for good. Sophie's Scots-Irish stubbornness and single-minded mission to save her ancestral lands create a wall that will take more than Zach's business savvy to break through.

"A fun read that will capture readers' interests, and a story of enduring love that will warm their hearts."
