(2026)(A book in the Rugged Hearts of the West series)
A novel by Lilah Rivers
Desperate to escape her uncle’s ruthless control and the marriage he has arranged for her, Maggie Fontaine flees San Francisco with nothing but a small valise and the only proof of the truth: her father’s real will. With powerful enemies searching for her, she pushes west until she collapses near a remote Wyoming ranch, forced to trust a stranger who may either save her or ruin her.
Caleb Thornton is barely holding his ranch together after his father’s death, burdened with responsibilities and questioning his engagement to a woman who longs for a different life. He has little room for more trouble, yet he can’t turn away the mysterious woman who suddenly enters his world, leaving him torn between duty and a growing attachment he never expected.
As Maggie finds refuge with the Thorntons, secrets begin to surface and guarded hearts begin to soften. But when a bounty hunter rides into Copper Springs, her past refuses to stay hidden.
