Falling for the Orphan's Protector
(2025)(A book in the Hearts Across the Frontier series)
A novel by Carol Colyer
After fleeing an arranged marriage, Emmie Carlisle finds refuge at an orphanage, where hard work is a small price for freedom—and where a quiet boy named Blake becomes like family. When the orphanage closes and Blake is at risk of being placed with a cruel man, Emmie poses as his mother and travels west in search of safety, never expecting that love might find her along the way.
Private investigator Rhett Coulter agrees to track down a runaway heiress in exchange for enough money to care for his ailing father. He doesn’t ask too many questions—until the trail leads him to a young woman traveling under a false name with a child. What he finds challenges everything he expected: not a pampered heiress, but a resilient woman whose strength and kindness catch him off guard. As his feelings deepen, so does the weight of his deception.
In the frontier town of Farren, where trust is fragile and freedom hard-won, Emmie and Rhett are drawn to each other by more than fate. But with her past closing in and his conscience at war, love may come at the highest price of all.
