Description: Jonathan is Colleen Kelly's secret! He's her first boyfriend—sensitive and serious, and he understands her need for privacy. Colleen doesn't want to share Jonathan with anyone, especially her big, noisy family! So they meet alone, taking long, quiet rides on their horses. But Colleen can't keep her secret forever. Soon the Kellys find out about Jonathan. They meet him, make him part of the family—and Colleen is scared. She doesn't want their special relationship to change. Can she hold onto him? Will they still have enough time for themselves? [text from book jacket]
