Take Me Home

Take Me Home

Series: Whisper Horse, Book 1

When Claire Parker left Sanctuary, West Virginia, she thought it was for good. But now she’s back, reeling from an ugly divorce.

Readjusting to small-town life is harder than Claire expected, so she’s surprised, and grateful, to find companionship in Willow, an abused Thoroughbred mare. Willow is Claire’s “whisper horse,” and they share a special, rare bond. Except Willow isn’t the only one helping Claire heal; Willow’s ruggedly handsome veterinarian, Dr. Tim Arbuckle, is sympathetic…and secretive.

Devastated by his wife’s death, Tim thought he’d never find love again. The stoic, sexy doctor was sure he’d left his heart behind when he came to Sanctuary. But Claire stirs up emotions he thought he’d buried long ago. For the first time, the doctor tries to see past his grief.

When Willow falls gravely ill, Tim and Claire must work together to save the horse’s life and to find a love so encompassing, so intense, their lives will never be the same again.

Praise for the Book

“Like slipping into a warm bath, Herkness eases readers into her story. She’s spot-on when it comes to tugging at the heartstrings, and the vibrant setting of the West Virginia mountains is perfect for characters who will haunt readers long after the last page is turned. Animal lovers will be especially delighted.”
—Jaime A. Geraldi, RT Book Reviews

“Nancy Herkness pens a beautiful fairy-tale love story with charismatic characters woven into a gorgeous setting.  I really enjoyed reading Claire and Tim’s story.  But I also enjoyed the secondary characters.  There are so many real life situations in this charming tale that I could easily relate to most of them.  I laughed at the antics and witty remarks.  I got teary-eyed at some of the situations and when true love conquered all.”
—Billie Jo, Romance Junkies

“This story is real and can penetrate a soul because so many difficulties are shared in depth of the many facets of relationships. The [secondary] characters’ lives have the potential for some great stories of their own should the author ever want to continue these characters in future stories.”
—Trully, Coffee Time Romance, Rating: 5 cups

“Lively, and emotionally refreshing.”
—William Howe, Amazon Vine Review

“There is a timeless, comforting nobility about both mountains and horses. … I look forward to more touching reads in the “Whisper Horse” series from author Nancy Herkness.”
—Virginia Campbell, Amazon Vine Review

“A nice balance of drama and romance.”
—P. Romance, Amazon Vine Review

“I just had to read the next chapter and the next to find out what was going to happen to Claire Parker who has come back to her hometown.”
—Sheryl Jones, Amazon Vine Review

“Herkness livens it up with casual humor and an occasional belly laugh. Oh, yes – throw in a real hunk of unmarried widower and a couple of home town matchmaking friends.”
—David N. Parker, Amazon Vine Review

“TAKE ME HOME by Nancy Herkness was in one word, wonderful!”
—Obsidian Blue, Amazon Vine Review
