She came west to start a new life... But what is she running from?
Married to a man she barely knows, nineteen- year- old Emily Ives has hopes of starting a new life in her small, Michigan town. Soon she is pregnant, and shocked to discover her husband's charm masks a violent nature. When a fire claims the lives of her loved ones, she has one choice, escape on the Oregon Trail to the Black Hills, where her uncle and his wife are waiting.
But there's one hitch...
Caleb Merritt has lived his life in shadow since the death of his wife. When he finds Emily about to give birth in the back of a wagon, he offers to help, only to find himself drawn to her when he should be running the other way. She has secrets, that's for certain, and the last thing Caleb needs is more heartbreak.
When tragedy splits the wagon party in two, Emily discovers the husband she thought was dead is not only alive but hunting her. With her life and a long-lost treasure hanging in the balance, Emily must confront the past if she ever hopes to see the future.
"A stunning tour de force set against the backdrop of the American West." -Rob Samborn, award winning author of The Painted Souls series
