Dear Rose by Susanne Ash

A secret friendship, an unexpected rival, and a stack of secret letters that may just be the key to happiness.

After years of pretending to date her best friend to keep her father happy, Rose is finally ready to admit to herself and the world that she’s falling for Caleb. Except, her father is stuck on this silly notion that she needs to marry a certain kind of man to run Two Oaks, the family ranch. And Caleb doesn’t have the experience he’s looking for in a spouse for his eldest daughter.
Ranch hand Shawn on the other hand is. He grew up with horses and impresses everyone around with his skills. Except Caleb who smells there’s something wrong with the guy from a mile away. But having a sixth sense won’t be enough if he wants to win over Rose for good and impress her father. He’s making good progress when an accident calls his attention away from Two Oaks, leaving Rose with Shawn.
And then there’s a stack of letters Rose finds from her grandmother that reveal old family secrets and just maybe the sage advice she needs to open her heart and find true happiness.
