The Texas Ranger And The Runaway Bride
(2026)(The first book in the Frontier Lawmen of Texas: Stories of Faith and Love series)
A novel by Shania Thorne
She’s running from a marriage that would destroy her.
He’s sworn to uphold the law, even when it breaks his heart.
When Texas Ranger Garrett Sullivan arrives in Silver Creek to investigate cattle rustling, he never expects to recognize the quiet waitress at the Prairie Rose Café as the woman from a missing persons poster.
Abigail Andrews fled Boston weeks before her wedding, escaping a powerful fiancé and a future built on control instead of love. In Silver Creek, she’s finally found honest work, kind people, and a fragile hope that God hasn’t forgotten her.
But Ranger Garrett Sullivan knows exactly who she is.
And the reward for Abigail’s return could pay for the medical care Garrett’s dying sister desperately needs. When he discovers that Abigail's former fiancé is the very criminal he’s been hunting, his choice becomes impossible.
Turn her in and save his sister.
Or protect the woman he’s falling for and risk losing everything.
As danger closes in and the truth comes to light, Garrett and Abby must decide whether faith means clinging to duty at all costs or trusting God with the outcome, even when the price feels too high.
A clean and wholesome frontier romance about courage, sacrifice, and choosing love when obedience demands everything. Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. Meant to be a short escape to another place and time.
Genre: Romance
