James watched Lyla rocking their baby back and forth near the fire. The little one was almost three months old now, and Joey loved his baby brother.
There wasn’t a day that went by when Joey didn’t ask to hold little Matthew or to see how he was doing.
He had already introduced Matthew to Grandma Bonnie and Sam, the dog, and went along with Lyla to show him the entire ranch.
“How are you?” James asked, sitting across from Lyla.
“I’m fine. How about you?” She gave him one of her silly smiles. It was a tradition they had started, checking in with each other to see how they were doing.
Sometimes, James felt that with Matthew, Lyla was busy all the time, but he couldn’t complain. Lyla was a wonderful mother and she did a lot around the ranch and the house and, somehow, she still found time to spend with him when Bonnie watched the children.
They’d had their struggles in their married life, but for the most part, they enjoyed every single day together.
There were still days when James wondered what would have happened if Lyla had decided to take Joey and leave. He wondered what would have happened if he hadn’t caught up with Keith that day.
He knew that he was one of the luckiest men alive.
“James! There’s someone in the front yard,” Bonnie called out from the kitchen.
James stood reluctantly. “I wonder who it might be. We don’t usually get new visitors out here.”
He walked outside and it took him a moment to spot who his mother was talking about.
A man with a horse was standing near the front of the barn. He wore the sort of clothes that told James that he wasn’t someone from the country. The first person that came to mind was Keith, but James knew it wasn’t him.
His clothes were similar, but they weren’t quite as fancy.
“Hello, would you like to tell me what you’re doing on my ranch?” James’ tone wasn’t friendly. He was suspicious of anyone he didn’t know being on his ranch.
“Howdy, yes, actually, are you the sheriff?”
“I am. If you need help with something, you can head down to the office in town. My deputies will be more than happy to help you.”
“Actually, I’m looking for you, specifically. Keith sent me.” The man glanced over near the cabin, where Joey was playing with the dog.
“Joey!” James called out. “Go inside.”
His son could tell that it was something serious, because he left his play immediately and obeyed.
“You didn’t have to do that. I didn’t mean him any harm,” the man said.
James crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t trust strangers, especially ones who were sent by Keith. He has caused nothing but trouble to my family.”
“You’re too cautious. I don’t really want to see you, anyway. I’m here to speak to Lyla.”
James narrowed his eyes. He didn’t like this at all.
“I don’t know who you are, but I doubt Lyla would want to see you. As far as I know, there aren’t many people from her past that she’s interested in rekindling a friendship with. Especially people who are friends with Keith.”
“Well, Sheriff, I think she should decide that for herself. And I kind of have a right to be here. Tell her Frank is here to talk to her.”
James froze for a moment. He knew who Frank was—Joey’s real father. Why was he here, and what in heaven’s name did he have to do with Keith?
“I will go and tell Lyla that you are here, but I am going to warn you right now, we’ve had bad experiences with people who have just come to talk before. If Lyla wants you to leave, I suggest you do whatever it is she tells you to.”
“I will leave if and when I like.” Frank squared his shoulders.
“No, you will leave when we tell you to, otherwise you’ll have a place in the same cell that Keith used while he was here, causing problems. Do you understand me?”
Frank nodded. “Fine, but you haven’t even heard what I’m here for. And I won’t be telling you until Lyla is here, too.”
James was so close to losing control that instead of giving into his baser instincts, he turned and walked back to the house. He had no idea what Frank wanted, but it couldn’t be good. How could he have even found Lyla way out here, anyway? If he knew Keith, that must have been how.
James walked reluctantly into the parlor. He knew Lyla wasn’t going to be happy about this news.
“Ma? Can you watch Matthew for a few moments?” James asked as he walked into the kitchen.
“Why, what’s going on?” Lyla stood and handed Matthew over to Bonnie with a confused look on her face. “Who is it?”
“You’re not going to like this, but it’s Frank.”
Lyla stood still and silent for several moments, a stunned look on her face. “Th-The Frank?” She went pale.
James nodded. “If you don’t want to talk to him, then I’ll make him leave, but he’s pretty insistent on talking to you.”
Lyla shook her head. “How-I mean, it’s been years.”
“I don’t know. He mentioned Keith, though. Maybe there’s some connection? They do come from the same town.”
“Where’s Joey? Did he see Joey?” Lyla looked suddenly frantic.
“He’s here in the house somewhere. I sent him in.”
“He’s in the kitchen,” Bonnie provided.
“I don’t understand what it is he might want.” Lyla chewed on her lower lip.
“If you don’t want to talk to him…”
“No,” Lyla put her hand up. “If it really is him, I have some things to say. And I also need to make sure he will leave and never come back.”
James nodded his understanding. Of course, he didn’t see why Lyla would want to talk to a man like Frank, but he wasn’t going to keep her from doing it.
“Okay, let’s go. Just know that I’ll be with you the entire time,” James said.
Lyla nodded. “Thank you. Come on, let’s get this over with.”
They walked outside, and James was surprised to see Lyla so in control and collected. But he could tell that she was obviously bothered when she stopped in front of Frank.
“Hello Frank. You haven’t changed much,” she said in a cool tone.
“Neither have you.” Frank moved as if he intended to hug Lyla, but she took a step back.
“What are you doing here?” she demanded.
“I’m here to see my son.”
James felt his heart stop beating for a moment. He couldn’t say that he hadn’t feared something like this would happen.
Did this man even have a right to see his son? If it was up to James, he’d tell him to get lost and never lay eyes on their place again, to forget that his son ever existed, but he knew it wasn’t his decision to make.
James took in a deep breath and waited for Lyla to answer. In the end, this was all up to her.
—*—
Lyla tried to regulate her breathing. How in the world was this happening to her again? How did Frank even find her? Lyla took a breath and made herself focus.
“How did you find me?”
Frank gave a sly smile. “Turns out that old Keith actually had a good bone in his body. He reached out to me from jail to tell me I had a son.”
“How do you even know Keith?” Lyla narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
“Well, back in the day, we used to have a few drinks together, but then I left town… I suppose you remember that.”
“Yes, I do,” Lyla clipped out. “Why in the world would he go through the trouble of contacting you and telling you where I was?”
“He said to tell you that he still hasn’t forgotten what happened and that maybe I could pay back the debt between him and you. Not sure what that was supposed to mean, but he said you would know.”
Lyla swallowed hard. She knew exactly what it meant. He wanted to get back at her for besting him.
To do that, he intended to complicate her life with yet another unwanted intrusion. But this time, Lyla was stronger, and she knew exactly how to deal with this.
“You’re not his father,” Lyla said.
Both Frank and James turned to look at her simultaneously. She knew what James was thinking right now, but she also knew he would understand when she finished saying what she had started.
“What do you mean, I’m not the father? You mean, you were…”
Lyla held up her hand to stop him. “Tell me what his full name is? What’s his favorite food? How old is he? What were his first words?”
Frank sputtered, “I can’t know any of that, I’ve never even seen him before today.”
Lyla nodded. “Exactly. You weren’t there when I found out I was pregnant. You didn’t even tell me you were leaving.”
Lyla realized for the first time that it didn’t hurt, anymore, that Frank had left her. She actually felt glad.
If Frank hadn’t left, she was sure that she would have lived a life of misery and sadness.
“What does that have to do with my son? He is my son! Do you hear me?”
“No, he’s not. He is James’ son. Ask anyone. Everyone knows whose son that is. No one has even seen you before. And you have never given a thing to that boy. When you walked away from me, you gave up your rights to him.”
Frank’s face turned red and he looked like he was at a loss for words. “You can’t do that. How is that right? I have a right to have time with him, to be a father.”
“No, you don’t. You knew that what you did could result in a baby. I’m actually not convinced that you didn’t know you had a baby all these years.” Lyla paused and thought about what she was about to say. “I’m not a cruel person and I do the right thing, so when Joey is old enough, I will tell him about you. When he is eighteen, you are welcome to come back and ask him if he wants to get to know you, but until then, you keep yourself away from my son and away from this town.”
“You think you are the righteous person here? Do you even know why I left you back then?” he countered angrily.
Lyla bristled. “I don’t know, nor do I really care. It was the best thing you could do for me, and for him. You were inconsiderate and manipulative. You just wanted to get me to sleep with you.”
“I left you because you were naïve and silly. You really thought I wanted to marry you, and that was just comical. You’re just as pathetic today as you were back then.”
Lyla didn’t see the fist and neither did Frank. James’ hand connected squarely with Frank’s jaw, sending him spinning into the dirt.
“That’s that, Frank. You’ve had your piece and my wife doesn’t want you around here. Now, the last time I suggested someone leave, they didn’t listen, and they ended up in jail for most of the rest of their lives. Do you want that to happen to you?” James’s voice was full of fury that Lyla wasn’t used to hearing.
Frank stood up, sputtering. “I-you—”
“I suggest you get going before I take you to that cell that I told you about earlier.”
Frank turned and walked to his horse, then mounted it and headed away from the ranch.
“I’ll be back,” Lyla heard him say as he left.
Once he was gone, she felt her strength flee her body. She leaned into James. “I don’t know what in the world he was doing here.”
“You took good care of it.” James squeezed her in a half hug.
“So did you,” Lyla said, looking up at him. She couldn’t have thought of a better way to get Frank off their property. She only hoped that it was the last they would see of him for a long time.
—*—
It had been several months since Frank had showed up on the ranch. Merrick had told James that he was sure that Frank had left town.
They kept an eye out to make sure he didn’t come back, but James was beginning to think that Frank, unlike Keith, had left for good.
Matthew was growing every day, and Joey was also getting bigger.
James stared out at the barn in the moonlight. So much was changing in his life so fast—some days, it felt as if he couldn’t keep up.
“What are you doing out here?” Lyla asked, joining him on the porch. Both of the children were in bed and it was one of the rare moments that they were alone together.
“Just thinking and looking out at our ranch. It’s relaxing, don’t you think?”
Lyla slipped her arm through James’. “It is. You know, when I was young, I never imagined I would live on a ranch.”
James chuckled. “Where did you think you would live?”
“I don’t know. I suppose I thought I would live in the city somewhere. My sister and I used to talk about how we would live right next door to each other. But that never happened.”
“You miss her, don’t you?” James looked down at Lyla. There were still times when he missed his father, or even Alice. It wasn’t something that he could help. But he didn’t miss Alice in the same way he did before. It was more of a sad remembrance of her than anything.
“Yes, sometimes, I think about what we would be doing if she was still here. We would probably visit each other and tell each other what we did during the day.”
“She’s always here with you, in a way,” James said, looking up at the moon. “She’s up there somewhere, and I like to think that people up in heaven can still see us if they choose to.”
“That’s a nice thought. I hope it’s true.”
James nodded. “I know how it feels. I miss my father, and Alice, sometimes. Do you miss your parents?”
Lyla scrunched her eyebrows together, “My relationship with my parents was complicated, but I do miss them sometimes. It’s a difficult thing, missing someone who you never got along with while they were alive.”
James smiled at her. “You know, sometimes I still wonder if I could have done something to save your sister.Their horse’s reins were just out of my grasp. I was so close.”
Lyla shook her head. “What happened to them was a tragedy, but it wasn’t your fault. There was nothing more you could have done. From what I know, you did everything possible.”
James looked down at her eyes and knew she meant what she said. “I know, but sometimes… I suppose you’re right, though.”
“Mama?” A little voice made both of them turn to find Joey standing in the doorway. His white shirt hung down a little below his knees. It was the same shirt that James had given him that first night he’d spent on the ranch.
Joey had continued to grow into it over the months.
“Joey? What’s wrong?” Lyla asked.
“I’m scared and can’t sleep.”
James and Lyla exchanged looks. They had been trying to accustom Joey to sleeping in his own room, and it wasn’t always easy.
“Come on, we’re going to tell you a story.” Lyla scooped the little boy up into her arms, savoring the hug from her son.
She carried him into the room where he was supposed to sleep and set him on the bed. She pulled the blanket up to his chin and sat next to him.
“Okay, so, once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was a brave sheriff who lived in a town in the middle of the wild west,” Lyla began.
“And he found a little boy who needed a place to sleep,” James continued, sitting down on the foot of the bed.
“So, he took the little boy to his home and gave him a bed.” Lyla giggled.
They went back and forth, taking turns telling bits of the story.
“I think he’s asleep,” Lyla said at last.
James nodded. “I think you’re right. This reminds me of the first few nights he stayed here. He just never gave up, which was how he ended up sleeping in my room.”
Lyla giggled softly. “I can imagine that. It’s nice to have a little time where they are both sleeping. Do you want to go read by the fire?”
James stood and offered her his hand. She gave it to him, and he pulled her up into a hug. “Let’s go.”
As they stepped into the hall, a loud wail burst through the house.
“Matthew,” they said in unison.
James chuckled. “I have a feeling that our quiet time is all up for the night.”
“I’m sorry.” Lyla gave him a longing look and then disappeared into their room to get the baby.
James went alone into the parlor, where Bonnie was already sitting, reading.
“The baby woke up?” she asked, looking up from her book.
“Yes, Lyla went to get him.”
His mother seemed to read his mind. “Don’t worry, it gets better with time. I’m sure one day, when you are both as old as I am, you’ll miss these days.”
“I know we will. It’s just hard sometimes,” James admitted, sitting back in a chair.
His mother reached over and patted his hand. “Have patience, James.”
Lyla joined them, with baby Matthew all wrapped up in a blanket.
James smiled at her and watched her sit down. His mother was right. This was something that was worth the difficulty. He didn’t regret it for a moment.
He knew that he had come such a long way from where he had been almost two years ago.
Lyla had changed his life in so many ways, and so had Joey. He was never so happy as he was now.
He knew that he couldn’t ask for a single thing more. Everything was just as it should be, and he had been given the biggest blessing a person could ever ask for—a family.

I really enjoyed this story couldn’t put it down.
I’m so glad about it, dear Glenda! 😀
I loved the book, but you must get a professional to proofread your books. For instance, words are left out; words are repeated; names are incorrect. In one section, the name ‘James’ is used several times in place of the correct ‘Joey.’ It gets very frustrating for the reader.
Thank you so much for your honest comment, dear Mattie! I will keep this in mind. 🙂
I enjoyed the book so very much and how the were made into a family with all the great qualities of a good sound togetherness. I didn’t pickup on anything wrong. I guess I was so enthralled with the story!
Thank you.

So glad to hear that, dear Amanda! Thank you for your support!

It is a good story,I enjoyed reading it. It needs to have better proof reading though.
Thank you very much for your honest feedback, dear Barbara! I’ll keep your comment in mind for my future books. 🙂
I just finished reading this book for the second time. Very seldom do I read a book twice.
I do wish you would put the elilogue at the end of the book instead of making us go further
for it. I enjoyed the book very much. I have read three books that you have authored and I
will read a couple of more. Some things are a bit far fetched that you write, but all in all
I enjoy your books. Good luck and God Bless.
Sincerely,
Helen
Loved your story of Lyla, Joey, James, and Bonnie. I felt !like they were real people, who faced their trials showing great strength and compassion. Thank you for a fine, Christian story.
Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Nanette! They make me so glad! 🙂
Enjoyed this story with Lyla, James, Joey and the town in the ‘wild west’ where people worked together, caring for others.
Lyla’s mistake when she was 16 could have happened to any young girl. Enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed the story!
Yes I did enjoy the book and the characters involved.
Agree some attention to detail required.
LB you do come up with some good storylines.
Thank you, dear Gloria! Stay tuned, I have more stories to share! 😀
This story was full of twists and turns. I shed tears, had some laughs, along with angry moments. Thank you keep up the great work.
Great story. Loved it.
Thank you so much, dear Ruthie! Glad to hear that! 😀
I enjoy reading your books. They really get interesting and I can’t put it down. I always enjoy the early 18OO and Mail order Brides.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I truly appreciate it!
I loved the story of how Lyla was able to overcome tragedies and find true love. James had struggled with not being able to keep his wife from dying and nearly distroyed his life before he found happiness in a little boy. A very riveting story with lots of action.
You do have some errors with Joey’s name when you called him James.
I enjoyed the book so much. It was hard to put down each evening when I read it. Thanks so much,
What a wonderful read this was. As far as I’m concerned, Joey was the lead character in the book. Now to read the other two books in this threesome.
I loved this story. You make the people in your book come alive and makes you not wanting to put the story down until you have read every word! Than you also for letting me see just a little into their future with the extended epilogue !
Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
Enjoyed the book so much. Also love more of the adventure in the extended epilogue. Keep your good books coming.
Thank you so much for your kind words
Really liked your book and style of writing. I definitely want to read other books by you
Thank you so much!
Ms Lorelei
A Treasure Brought by Fate was a wonderful book and extended epilogue. I loved to read about James and Lyla and how they met because of Joey. The baby Matthew was a welcome addition to their lovely family.
Thank you sincerely for a wonderful read.
Sharon
Wonderful story…. It should have been proofread and edited a bit better. James was used in a few places instead of Joey and some words need redone as in running together.
Lyla was to young to realize Frank only wanted one thing from her and made the biggest mistake by not introducing him to her parents before things had gone so far between them. She had been so sheltered by her parents and it sounded like no one had told her what real life and real love 💘💘between two people actually was like and that Frank didn’t actually love her and that he was just using her.
Frank showing up in the extended epilogue wanting to see the child that was the result of his one night stand and his skeedaddling out of town after the deed was done goes to show just how despicable a character that he was.
Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback, dear Shirley! I really appreciate your honest comment, it’s very helpful! So glad you enjoyed the story! ❤️
Enjoyable story. Some names swapped such as “James” rather than “Joey”. A few typos but easy to figure out what was meant.
Thank you for your kind and honest feedback, dear Jaye! I will check with my editor about these.
Heartwarming story.
Thank you so much, dear Ruth! 🙂
Good read
So glad you enjoyed it, Callie! 🙂 Thank you!
Very enjoyable story.
Thank you so much Derek!
Lovely story, names swapped around and typos as mentioned but knew what yu meant. I was a little puzled with the time line. Keith appeared to arrive in town just days after the telegram was sent but he spent a a few weeks getting there. Overasll excellent reading
Thank you for your honest comment, my dear Robyn! I really appreciate it and I keep your feedback in mind for my future books. So glad that you enjoyed the story! 🙂
Story had a great flow. Few typos and easy to follow. You are deserving of a fan following you have earned it!
Thank you so much for your honest comment my dear! I really appreciate your kind words! 🙂
This story was very easy to read in a couple of longish blocks of time, with a storyline which kept me interested throughout. I dont know much about the early ‘west’ but I do wonder how a stage coach could travel about the countryside without being on some sort of track or road. You certainly created a loveable child character in Joey.
Thank you so much for your comment, dear Maureen! 🙂
I enjoyed the story as I followed the characters through some heart-wrenching moments.
So glad to hear that, dear Barbara!
A very heartwarming and wonderful story about love and family and friends and a young woman that was Avery sheltered girl and did not know love until she met James and Joey and a friend in Karen
Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Gwen! They mean a lot to me!
Kansas borders Missouri. I don’t understand why Keith was routing his getaway through Illinois. Something seems off with the geography
Thank you very much for your honest feedback, dear Patricia. I will keep this in mind for my future books. 🙂
Loved the story and glad that Lyla finally found true love and a family of her own.
It makes me so happy to hear that, Karen! 🙂
Loved the story, a few swapped names as mentioned before,but enjoyed the story and the extended epilogue. Keep writing.
Thank you for your kind honest words, dear Cathy! 🙂
Wonderful story and I enjoyed it so much! Please continue to write more like this!
Thank you so much for your kind words Martha! Your support means a lot to me!
I loved the story. I was sad for Lyla I adopted two children and never stopped thinking about their Bio. mothers. So greatful .
Lyla was young and pressured into doing something she didn’t really want to do. Thank God for James.
Looking forward to my next book. Your books are Great.
Thank you so much for your kind words Soreta! So glad you enjoyed the story!
I loved this book! Couldn’t put it down. The characters are well thought out and the plot is engrossing. Lyla is a strong and courageous woman who won the heart of a loving man and a sweet little boy. I love stories with women as great role models, and also happy endings. This book delivers both in spades. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, dear Susanne! It makes me so happy to hear your kind words!
Thank you for a rich & interesting story. I enjoyed it very much. 5*s
So glad to hear that Karie! Thank you for your kind words!
I enjoyed this story and the extended episode. It was fast enough so it was hard to put down.
A cozy read about the dynamics of family. Lyle started out so naive made you want to sit her down and give her the talk. James was someone you want to know and Keith needed to be knocked down a peg. A few little errors like James for Joey a couple of times but didn’t stop the flow of the story.
Thank you for your kind and honest words, dear Anita! I really appreciate them!
It was a wonderful book to read. Couldn’t stop reading it until I got to the end.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Elizabeth! So glad you enjoyed the story! 😁
I loved this book. Had to read the whole book without stopping.
That’s fantastic! Thank you for your kind words, dear! 🙂
Another great book. I couldn’t put it down.
Wow what a wonderful story. The characters are great and believable. I had a feeling from the beginning who Joey’s real mother was and the story was true to the time period Lyla would have had no choice and made the best decision she could under the circumstances. What a wonderful man James was, one in a million, strong and stoic with a heart of gold. The author captures well the ethos of not needing to be a blood relative to be the best parent and though not biologically Joey’s father he definitely deserved the title more than Frank ( his presence at the end was quite unnerving but in the true spirit of despicable men) I too noticed a few typos and I wondered at the term of “police station” as I thought that was more a British term than an American one?? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it allowed me to ignore The Hoolie blowing here in Scotland and just enjoy my time indoors a.s my granny would say ” The weather’s like yer Grandpa——- Nae pattern”
Thanks for the entertainment
Wonderful story, I love reading books set in this time, and I was hooked on this one from the beginning.
As with a few other comments there were a few naming issues, but it didn’t spoil it for me.
Please keep them coming.
I’m so glad you love my books, dear Tricia! 😀
I love your books. You always have a good storyline that keeps me up all hours because I cannot set the book down. Keep up the good work.
Aww, thank you for your amazing comment, dear Janet! 😀
I loved the story. What a great love story. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your comment and your support, dear Susan! 😀
I love this book. Keep up the good writing. It had love, suspense, drama and a happy ending.
I absolutely loved this book! You have a gift of your story making you feel that you are right there experiencing their lives with them!the closeness of family and friends and acceptance. Can’t wait to read another of your books! Thank you!,
Wonderful story. Shows that money can’t buy love. Too bad there aren’t any men like James around. Caring and good. Th thanks for the epilogue. I love to see further in their life. Keep writing such true to life stories.
True Love wins
This is a great story of twists and turns for two people who overcome many obstacles to be together. A precious little boy brings them together to become the family they always wanted.
The story was great but it REALLY needs to be edited. Many mistakes. Lyla misspelled a few times, Joey, James and Jeremy’s names mixed up, etc.
The typos people mention are minor and did not cause a problem! I was obvious who you were talking about! I’m not sure why people felt a need to mention them. I enjoy this book more than any other you have written!!!!
Thank you for your kind words!
I would highly recommend this book to all who enjoys western history. This story was very interesting and quite different. I found it heartwarming.
Thank you!
Another good story. Enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning. This is my second time reading this and it did not disappoint.
Thank you!
Wonderful story. On to the next one.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I love to read and have loved books forever! Thank you for sharing your love of storytelling with us, your readers. Yes, I noticed some problems that a good editor should have taken care of for you. I have wished many times that I could have shared a job proofing writings and helping young authors to improve their writing abilities. I wish you many years of happy writing and sharing stories. We need writers such as you to help us hold onto the good that the Lord blesses us with in our daily lives. Keep writing and May God bless you for every word and thought shared.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
