She came West to escape heartbreak—only to marry a stranger who might just heal it.
When Bridget Sterling leaves behind the shattered remains of her life in Newport—an ended engagement, a tarnished family name, and a future dictated by her greedy uncle—she boards a stagecoach bound for the Colorado frontier. Her salvation lies in a marriage to Silas Beckett, a man she’s never met, and a dusty mercantile far from society’s judging eyes.
Now, in the dusty streets of Valemont County, her new husband, a broad-shouldered shopkeeper with kind eyes—offers her safety, but not the life she thought she wanted.
Silas Beckett wanted a partner for his thriving mercantile, not a guarded beauty with a broken heart. Yet something in Bridget’s fierce independence calls to him, even as she keeps him at arm’s length.
Then Bridget catches sight of the Valemont Chronicle—and the ink on her fingers reminds her she’s more than a mail-order bride.
When whispers of dangerous working conditions at the local mine reach her ears, Bridget’s reporter instincts flare.
As she digs for the truth, she risks more than her reputation—she could shatter the fragile trust forming between her and Silas, and stir up the wrath of a man who owns half the county.
From dusty streets to the printed page, their story is one of resilience, romance, and the courage to fight for both truth and love.
