In a wide land where life is hard and promises are few, love may demand more than the heart is ready to give.
She came west hoping for a fresh beginning-nothing more than honest work and a place to belong. He had already learned what the frontier could take from a man, and how little it ever gave back. When their lives cross, a tender understanding grows between them, fragile as a dream and just as easily broken.
But the past does not loosen its hold so easily. Old loyalties, quiet fears, and the harsh demands of the land stand in the way of happiness neither dared to hope for. In a world where every choice carries a cost, love itself may prove the most costly of all.
A moving Western romance of devotion, sacrifice, and the price one must pay for a chance at lasting happiness.
