About the Book

Despite trials that threaten their path forward, hope dawns for a future filled with love.

Kat Wadsworth and Sebastian Jones never imagined their lives would entwine so closely. Forced to flee on a wagon train from a vengeful uncle and an unknown gunman, they live in a hidden canyon with the family that rescued them. But as the days turn into months, they each have separate reasons for wanting to move back to society, and the best way to the independence they desperately crave might be through a marriage of convenience.

However, settling into their homestead in Cheyenne, Wyoming, reveals a different reality for Kat. Her new husband becomes consumed by his inventions, leaving her feeling lonely and isolated. And just when they think they’ve left the danger behind, a mysterious attacker lurks in the shadows, threatening the new life they’ve built. Together, they must confront the perils from their pasts to forge a future with hope and the prospect of love.

The First Line is …

“I’m going to tear this canyon entrance open with my bare hands.”

  1. That’s a great first line!

    I’m currently reading Secondary Target by Angela Carlisle. It is so good!
    “Bryce pulled into Western Outfitters’ lot and eyed the building. This was the last place Corina should be right now. The building was too exposed. Too open.”
    I hope you have a great weekend! ???

  2. Standing onstage at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, surrounded by cast members and some of the crew, many of whom I’ve not seen in years, I feel and almost overwhelming since of gratitude and nostalgia.
