A novel by

 
 
Gail Marsh set out for California with a dream, a trunk full of weaving supplies, and a hired guide who robbed her blind before dawn. Stranded in the middle or nowhere with nothing but her determination, she accepts a ride from a kind couple headed to a small town called Deepwater. She hopes it won't take long to get back on the road. There is land to find, sheep to raise, and a life to build on her own terms.

Walter Briggs is a man whose closest friend is iron. It doesn't ask questions, doesn't expect anything from him, and never reminds him of what—or who—he left behind in Indiana. He tells himself he's content with his quiet life, and almost believes it until a determined woman with wheat-colored hair and a no-nonsense attitude arrives in town and makes him wonder if contentment is really enough.

When a half-forgotten newspaper clipping surfaces from the bottom of Gail's trunk, and the blacksmith stalls fixing her wagon, she realizes that Walter may not be as unfamiliar to her as she thought. But it takes a storm and a fallen tree to force them both to stop pretending, and show Gail that the life she was seeking may have been waiting here all along.

Each of these kisses only stories, while part of a series, is a complete standalone, and can be enjoyed in any order.
