A Love Like Ours Paperback - 2015

From the rear cover

Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.

When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance to run.

Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

"Filled with genuine emotion and overflowing with positive examples of faith, the story captures the imagination while warming the heart." -Publishers Weekly starred review

"This is the third title in Wade's series about the Porter brothers and perhaps the most relatable....Lyndie perseveres and keeps riding and loving Jake in this inspirational tale about how someone who is severely broken can become whole again." -Booklist
