Romantic western

A western romance with lots of angst. He's trying to save his ranch and she is suffering from a serious disease. I found this book to be likable but very predictable

love is sweet!

It's a sweet story. Emma and Nate make a cute couple, I like these stories where they start out as friends and end as more? Great family dynamic, the Rourke family is so close since their parents passed away. Stephanie is a spitfire who thinks she is stronger than she is. Hannah is a cutie 13 year old who runs the house and Nate has the world on his shoulders.The Bensons are worse off than the Rourke's money wise since Emma has been so sick all her life. The had to send their youngest son Drake away to one of his Uncles cus they couldn't afford to feed him.When Emma goes to stay with Nate to help out things start to change. Now is it for the better or worse?
