A novel by Lianna Hawkins
Rose Colton fears for her life and flees New York City on a westbound train to hide from her dangerous husband. Once she arrives in Elkhorn, Montana, she soon discovers it’s no longer the bustling town she left behind. With her parents’ hotel business in peril, she’s more determined than ever to create a plan to bring the town and herself back to life. There’s only one problem. Rose hadn’t predicted falling for Daniel when she’s legally married to another.
Daniel Hudson came to Elkhorn to recover from his former bride-to-be leaving him at the altar. A year has gone by, and he’s steadfast in his vow to not let another woman into his heart. With the town in serious decline, he convinces his father to move his mercantile to California, where mining towns are desperate for supplies. All that’s left was to pack up and leave. But when Rose Colton comes to town, his well-laid plans quickly unraveled. He finds himself torn between leaving or staying to start a future with the woman he’s fallen in love with.
When Rose’s husband shows up in town, Daniel feels betrayed. He closes his heart, determined to ignore her pleas about why she hadn’t told him the truth about her life back in New York. Rose has no choice but to leave with Grant, as it’s the only way to protect her loved ones. Will Daniel open his heart in time to find out the truth? Or will Rose leave behind everything she worked hard for, including the man who taught her she deserved to be loved?
