Everlasting Arms
(2026)(A book in the Hymns to Stir the Heartstrings Collection series)
A novel by Ivy Hart
Adelaide Rose Sinclair is running for her life.
In the autumn of 1888, Adelaide flees the comforts of the East for the rugged anonymity of Havenwood, a mining town tucked deep within Colorado’s unforgiving San Juan Mountains. Framed for a crime she didn’t commit by a man she refused to marry, she has been stripped of her wealth and reputation. Now, she possesses only her wits, her grandmother’s sewing skills, and a desperate prayer for safety. But the high country is treacherous, and an early mountain blizzard soon leaves her stranded at the door of a solitary stranger.
Marshal Gideon Troy lives by the book.
To Gideon, the world is black and white: there is the Law, and there are those who break it. Isolated in his cabin high above the town, he finds peace in order and solitude—until Adelaide collapses on his porch. She is a fugitive, a disruption, and everything he has trained himself to avoid. But as the snow traps them together, Gideon begins to see that the woman he is sworn to arrest possesses a quiet strength that challenges his rigid worldview.
When the true criminal arrives to claim her, Gideon must make a choice that will shatter his career but save his soul. Can he learn that true justice sometimes requires mercy? And can Adelaide stop running long enough to find sanctuary in the everlasting arms of a love she never expected?
