Meadowbrook Ranch

"Everyone should find someone to share their story with." Exhausted and burnt out, singer-songwriter Bea Thompson needs a break and some space from her once-promising career as an indie musician. Seeking refuge from the crushing pressures of the industry, she books a last-minute stay at a special childhood sanctuary, the birthplace of her most treasured friendship: Meadowbrook Ranch. She only hopes the boy she found in the hayloft all those years ago still lives there. Over the years, lone cowboy Samuel "Tag" Taggart has built a name for himself as a stock contractor for the rodeo circuit. Shackled by the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, he's resigned himself to a life of solitude at Meadowbrook Ranch, working around the clock for the only family he's ever been able to count on-the horses. But one stormy night, an unexpected visitor upends his quiet life. The girl from the hayloft-his long-term pen pal-is back, covered head to toe in mud and excited to see him. After spending years pouring his heart out through letters to Bea, finally seeing her again face-to-face sends his heart into lockdown. Will he trust his old friend with the painful storms of his past, or will the rain prove that some souls are too far gone for love? We Redeemed the Rain is a contemporary romance set in Central Texas and the first installment of Meadowbrook Ranch, an emotional series about trauma, healing, and love amid crisis.
