The One

She came home to disappear. He thought he had his family figured out. Neither expected one frightened boy to change everything.

Dr. Margaret Gordon once had a life in Seattle built around medicine, long hospital hours, and the certainty that she knew exactly who she was. Then one devastating surgical mistake shattered her career and sent her retreating to the rural Idaho property her grandfather left behind, where horses ask no questions and solitude feels safer than risking another failure.

Joe Wilde has spent years raising his teenage son, Ryan, alone after losing his wife. Rough around the edges, stubborn as hell, and more comfortable fixing fences and milling lumber than talking about feelings, Joe believes pushing through fear is how a person survives.

Then Ryan’s difficult horse, Storm, brings Margaret back into their lives.

Margaret sees immediately what Joe doesn’t: Storm isn’t the real problem. Ryan is frightened, angry, and carrying more than his father realizes. As Margaret slowly earns the horse’s trust, she earns Ryan’s too—and forces Joe to question everything he thought he knew about his son, his family, and the woman he once badly misjudged.

But when one reckless decision sends Ryan alone into the Idaho wilderness on horseback, Joe and Margaret are forced into a desperate search through rain, mud, rising creeks, and miles of unforgiving backcountry.

And when they finally find him, Margaret must become the one person she no longer believes she can be—the doctor who may be able to save his life.

In a story of loss, family, forgiveness, and finding the courage to belong again, two wounded people discover that sometimes the person who challenges you most may be the one person you were always meant to find.

The One is the first book in The Wilde Brothers Series from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart—a heartfelt small-town western family romance about second chances, a father and son finding their way back to each other, and a woman discovering that one mistake doesn’t have to define the rest of her life.
