Captivating Little Calla

She thought Rawhide would be a nightmare, but it might just be a dream come true…

Everyone who should have protected and cared for Calla has failed her.

And her evil, manipulative stepfather takes it a step further when he drops her off at the dreaded Rawhide Ranch. For months, he’s been tormenting Calla with threats of research facilities dedicated to performing horrific experiments on non-verbal, autistic girls like herself.

But when the future she feared clashes with the reality of what Rawhide is, it’s more than Calla can take. Mid-meltdown, her mind splintered, she finds herself in the strong arms of a man who’s gentle with her for the first time in her life.

Eric is a seemingly endless well of patience and tenderness. More than that, though, Eric has his own scars. And it’s those scars that slowly pull Calla out of her inner turmoil, helping her to believe that for once, someone might actually care for her the way she’s always dreamed of.

Now she’ll just need the courage to believe that the life she’s found with her new friends and her new Daddy is real, and not just a dream that will fade away in the harsh morning light.
