Kaki Warner’s newest novel in the series about unlikely brides who make their way west—and find love where they least expect it. For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Jodi Thomas...
Margaret Hamilton escaped the Irish slums of Five Points as the ward of a wealthy Manhattan widow, but only marriage can make her future secure. Railroad mogul Doyle Kerrigan needs a well-connected wife. It seems a perfect match...until a shocking revelation sends her fleeing from the wedding reception.
Desperate to make a fresh start, Margaret takes on a new identity and heads West, finally stopping in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, a dying mining town of little interest to anyone. Here, she finds new purpose, beloved friends to replace the family she’s lost, and a home at last.
But two men from Margaret’s past are on her trail. One is seeking vengeance, the other truth. When they both arrive in Heartbreak Creek, she must choose between the town she has come to love, and the man who might finally capture her heart….

Plucked from the degrading horror of brothel life in the New York slums, young Cathleen Donovan loses her Irish roots and becomes Margaret Hamilton, a wealthy widow's ward. With her engagement to a prominent Irish businessman, her future seems assured--until an appalling truth about her intended sends her fleeing, with desperate men on her trail. Stranded by a washed-out trestle in Heartbreak Creek, a dilapidated mining town in the Colorado Rockies, Margaret--now Lucinda Hathaway--impulsively decides to stay and get on with revitalizing the town and rebuilding her life. But the Pinkertons do good work, and once again she is the target of a depraved villain who wants her dead and Tait Rylander, who will stop at nothing to keep her alive. VERDICT A smart, resourceful heroine who survives at all costs, a strong, honorable hero who refuses to let her go, and a surfeit of diverse, unforgettable characters combine in a gripping, multilayered story that pulls few punches as it draws readers into the romance and often unvarnished reality of life in 19th-century America. Warner (Colorado Dawn) lives in Washington State.
