The Rightful Bride
(2026)(The second book in the Hearts of the High Country series)
A novel by Marian Ashford
She came to Silver Creek to reclaim what was stolen. She didn't expect to find a man worth saving in the process.
When Evangeline Dubois discovers her late father's life work hidden in an attic trunk, she knows what she has to do. Armed with sixty-year-old documents, she boards a westbound stage to challenge the powerful man who has been mining her family's claim for years.
Tomás Herrera-Santos has spent six months as Garrett Weldon's enforcer, telling himself that intimidation without violence makes him different from the men he's become. He's good at his job... until the woman with the measuring eyes steps off the noon stage and refuses to be afraid of him. Now Weldon wants her gone before she reaches a judge, and Tomás is running out of reasons to comply.
As the hearing draws closer and Weldon's methods grow desperate, Tomás must choose between the man he's been and the man his father raised him to be. And Evangeline must decide whether winning her claim is worth trusting the one person in Silver Creek who was sent to stop her.
Because some promises were always meant to be kept.
The Rightful Bride is the second book in the Hearts of the High Country series, a frontier romance filled with justice, redemption, and a love built on the bedrock of hard-won truth.
Genre: Historical Romance
