Sometimes a wrong turn leads us in the right direction…
In the fall of 1980, Emma Westley, an art student and former military brat, is on her way to meet a friend when she crosses paths with Bernard, a reclusive cowboy desperate for a fresh start. He promised his father he’d never sell the family ranch—and he intends to keep that promise, even if it means opening his home, and his heart, to the girl from everywhere.
Emma has always believed art could save her. But when tragedy steals the colour from her world, she turns to painting as a way to heal—unwittingly setting off a chain of events that proves the Old West never truly died.
Composed is a portrait of a woman determined to shape her own destiny—and the quiet, destructive forces that bring about her undoing.

Book 6 of the Moving Mountains series
Like most teenagers, Jaxon has a summer job—but unlike his friends, he’s working for his dad, fixing fences and learning how to run the family ranch. Everything seems to be going according to plan, until a visit from a distant relative forces the family to confront the mistakes of the past.
For five generations, the ranch has relied on access to public grazing land to stay in business. But when Jaxon’s fight to save a herd of wild horses attracts the wrong kind of attention, putting the future of the ranch in jeopardy, he must choose between doing what’s expected or doing what’s right.
