She crossed the country for safety. What she found was a trap.
Clara Wilson boards a westbound train with a single valise, a handful of letters, and a fragile hope for a respectable marriage. The man who promised her stability in Star Creek, Colorado was meant to be her salvation-a practical arrangement between two sensible adults.
But when Clara steps onto the platform, she realizes the truth too late.
The man waiting for her is not how he described himself. He is decades older and living in a hovel.
Stranded in an unforgiving mountain town, bound by circumstance and custom, Clara faces a future she cannot bear-until fate intervenes in the most brutal way imaginable. Overnight, she becomes a woman without protection, without prospects... and without a place to belong.
Luke Carter saw it all from the shadows.
A hardened railroad man and occasional bounty hunter, Luke keeps his distance from the town-and from women-after a loss that carved him hollow. He knows trouble when he sees it, and Clara Wilson arrives carrying more of it than she realizes.
As secrets surface and danger closes in, Clara must decide whether survival means running again-or trusting the one man who never offered her false promises.
In a land where women are claimed, bargains are deadly, and love is never safe, Clara may discover that the man she didn't order is the only one who can save her.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn Western romance, strong heroines, and brooding heroes with haunted pasts.
