Estelle Ripley is not who she says she is. Running from the past she’s left behind on a Georgia plantation, she’s taken a job in a wagon train heading to new horizons along the Oregon Trail. If she can just keep her head down, do her job, and keep any of her new friends from discovering her secret, she’ll be fine. After all, people don’t ask questions on the frontier.
But Estelle didn’t count on a shadowy figure from her past coming along on the journey, and she most certainly did not plan to fall head-over-heels in love.
Graham Tremaine’s only reason for heading west is to deliver his sister Lynne’s belongings to her new home in Denver. The Civil War has left him with more scars than his missing leg. Convinced he is now only half a man, wounded and with no future, he fights hard not to fall in love with the dark and mysterious Estelle. It’s a losing battle, and as his passion for Estelle flares, so does his desire to protect her. But how can he fight her battles when she keeps so many secrets from him? And what kind of a life can a man who has lost himself provide?
Love is a journey that proves the heart has no limitations…
