About the Book
Book: The Hidden Legacy (A Ford Family Rach: Book Two)
Author: June Foster
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 7, 2025
Austin Ford has inherited the weight of his family’s legacy, overseeing the sprawling Ford Ranch as his father steps back and his siblings forge their own paths. But when his beloved horse, Jack, falls gravely ill, Austin calls upon the new veterinarian in town, igniting a chain of events that will change everything.
Dr. Willow Lawson, a skilled veterinarian, is stunned when she first lays eyes on Austin Ford. The young, handsome rancher is the spitting image of her deceased husband, a shock that causes her to faint right in the horse barn. Determined to overcome the haunting memories, Willow throws herself into her work, even as her heart begins to stir for the charismatic rancher.
As Austin grapples with the strange, unexplained holes appearing on the North Pasture, he is drawn into a deeper mystery. Night flights over the ranch reveal flashing lights in the darkness, suggesting the holes are no mere animal burrows.
Amidst this growing unease, Austin and Willow’s budding relationship is tested when her clinic is vandalized, leaving her devastated and out of work. The attacks seem to be more than random acts of violence, especially when Austin’s father recounts tales of buried gold hidden on the ranch by their ancestor, Great Grandfather Jeremiah, during the Great Depression.
With prowlers encroaching on his land and his desire to protect Willow intensifying, Austin must navigate the treacherous waters of old family secrets and new-found love. Together, can Austin and Willow unravel the mystery threatening their lives and find solace in each other’s arms? Or will the shadows of the past and present prove too formidable to overcome?

When strange holes appear in the Back Pasture, Willow and Austin join forces to uncover who—or what—is behind the digging. As danger closes in and their lives are threatened, a bond forms between them, stronger than either expected.
But just as love begins to bloom, a shocking revelation from the past threatens to tear them apart. What secret lies buried at the Ford Ranch—and can love survive its unearthing?
MY REVIEW
I do love a good story that highlights ranch life. It is a hard job that demands attention twenty four hours a day. The cattle always need to looked after, sheep that wander off and the horses need to be in tip top shape. A sick horse brings Willow to the Ford Ranch where an unexpected meeting causes her to faint. Has she seen someone from her past?
Willow is a new veterinarian who some ranchers are slow to trust. She is very gentle with animals and has a big heart for them. She is still grieving over her loss when she runs into Austin. She couldn’t help her reaction but how does she explain her fainting? I was intrigued right away when Austin has a striking resemblance to her husband who passed away. It is not exactly the best impression she was hoping to make when she sees him. Her focus needs to be on his sick horse and try to maintain professionalism.
Austin has started to take on more responsibility at the ranch since his father has decided to slow down. With his horse sick he has his hands full when mysterious things start happening around the ranch. What are the holes he spotted from his helicopter that is on the ranch? When a secret is revealed to Austin about his great grandfather his suspicions become more alarming. Can this old legend be true that his father shares with him?
I was definitely caught off guard when Willow’s office is destroyed. Al the X-ray machines, medication and other necessities for a veterinarian gone with one vicious attack on her livelihood. The message someone left behind tells her that she is not wanted in this small town. The author does an excellent job of giving readers suspense as we follow Austin and Willow on their adventure to solving a mystery while developing a relationship between each other.
I love how faith is evident in our characters lives. As danger seems to continue Willow and Austin turn to God for help. They know He is watching over them and will protect them from evil. I liked the strange letters showing up which keeps the suspense going strong. Austin begins to wonder if there is something more to him looking like Willow’s deceased husband. His mom is full of wisdom when he talks about his concerns to his mom. She tells him, “If there are answers we don’t have now, God can provide them if He believes it necessary.”
Join the author as she brings us a story of hidden treasures, secrets, intrigue and a sweet relationship that is surrounded by God. I loved the ending and how in the midst of trials we see how God heals hearts, restores families and brings a new beginning to the Ford Ranch.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
