Chance's Return
When prodigal son Chance McCord returns home to the North Star ranch, he faces a tragic past and a family divided, but he also discovers a love strong enough to put the pain and heartache to rest. When young widow Casey Girard decides to spend the summer working on the North Star near the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, she doesn't expect to find such a man as Chance, nor to fall so completely in love with him. They both must learn to trust in each other and to have the faith that life can be good for both of them again. It is Casey's faith and love that truly brings Chance home.

Reviews
"Chance's Return is one of the best books I've read in a long time, and I'm hard to please. I almost never read contemporary stories, but this one is a bit like being in the "old west" even though it's set in the present. The characters are wonderful and so realistic, and I love the way Lucy describes western scenery. Chance's Return is a great story and Lucy is an excellent writer. I look forward to her future books!"

"I truly enjoyed this book; it was a winner which followed the lives of Casey and Chance without becoming boring. There are a lot of historical facts available concerning the State of Wyoming. This book is not historical; it is just an old fashioned Western inspirational romance. There is plenty of romance, just understated. This book by Ms.Kubash is a must-read for all. There is something that a reader of any genre could enjoy. I highly recommend you read this success! "

"Chance's Return is a gratifying and heartwarming story of romance found in the midst of grief, family rivalries, anger, and hatred. All the characters are well-developed, especially Casey and son Jamie, and the McCords, Chance, Justin, and Kyle, as well as Casey's Aunt Jamie and her late husband Sam. Although the plot isn't at breakneck pace, the reader relaxes into the story and watches emotions develop and breaks heal. Lucy Naylor Kubash weaves the inspirational theme into the story tightly but subtly."
