Three months a wife. Now a widow with a ranch she cannot run and a debt she cannot pay.
When Jane Parvin came west as a mail-order bride, she stepped off the train in Whitehorn with just a trunk of practical clothes. Harvey Parvin was a kind, distant man, and she had been prepared to build a life beside him on the hard frontier ground he called home. Three months later, he was in the dirt, and the bank was at her door.
The bank wants the ranch. Garrick Sledge counts every fence post like a man pricing goods at auction, and he is patient enough to wait Jane out.
So she advertises. Fourteen plain lines in the paper. Honest work. No promises.
The drifter who answers is a quiet cowboy named Ned Sheldon, broad across the shoulders, slow to speak, with a past he keeps locked behind his teeth. Jane offers him the bunkhouse and a place at her table. She does not ask his story. He does not give one.
Together they mend fence, work the herd, and stand off a town that has already buried her. But Ned has a past he has spent five years outrunning, and when it rides up the track on a tall sorrel with a smile too easy by half, everything Jane has fought to keep is suddenly in danger.
A sweeping mail-order bride western romance set on the wide, hard, beautiful frontier of Wyoming. For readers who love strong widow heroines, slow-burn love, and a ranch worth saving.
Genre: Romance
