Description

A woman determined to escape her past. A reserved newspaperman with dreams of his own. Can unexpected family and danger lead to lasting love?

Meg Todd is done putting her happiness on hold. Fleeing a controlling brother-in-law and desperate for a fresh start, she seeks help from a trusted attorney and heads west, determined to build a new life. Along the way, Meg's compassionate heart leads her to care for two orphaned children, adding new challenges—and unexpected joy—to her journey.

Curtis McClain dreams of running his own newspaper, but his limited savings make every decision critical. He needs a wife to help with the business, but he never expected his new bride to arrive with two children in tow. As Meg's inheritance comes to light, Curtis fears she'll never be content with his modest life. But when a terrifying event threatens their fragile family, Curtis must decide what truly matters—and whether he can open his heart to love.
