A widow seeking safety. A rancher longing for love. A marriage that could heal or break them both.

Vanessa Worthington never knew her late husband had lost their home until the eviction notice arrived—giving her mere hours to find shelter for herself and her children. With nowhere else to turn, she travels from Atlanta to the Montana Territory as a mail-order bride, hoping to find a protective and kind man who will help her rebuild a life for her family. But after years of betrayal, Vanessa vows never to trust another man.

Travis Boyd has faced his own hardships and carved out a ranch on the frontier. Though lonely, he dreams of a loving wife and children to make his house a home. When Vanessa arrives, unaccustomed to the hard work of frontier life, Travis is disappointed—but he honors his marriage vows. Vanessa fears his kindness will soon turn to the harshness she’s known before.

As they navigate their new life together, will Travis’s patience and love be enough to heal Vanessa’s wounds? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart forever?

Perfect for readers who love mail order bride romance, western historical romance, protective hero romance, single mother romance, Montana frontier romance, second chance romance, and rancher romance.
