A story filled with so much suspense, heartache, and just plain torture. I loved every minute of it, these two had to learn to lean on each other and they were virtually strangers. Small towns always get to me cause you never know how they will react.

Hard to put dowm
Once I started this story the book was hard to put down. I like when a plot has unexpected twist and turns, and doesn't unfolded the why I expected.
She Found Shelter
Their parents had died but she & her brother were living and planning to move out west - but then he died and she was left all alone. Soon after she chose to become a Mail Order Bride and agreed to be partners with him.
He was badly scarred in a fire 2 yrs before & thought she would run from him when she saw him. But he also did not tell her about a broken engagement.
Those were simply emotional heart things. The worse is the killings, cattle rustlings, and the horrible man who installed himself as the town's mayor & wanting all he wanted and after giving loans & other means - he held many of the town's citizens as 'hostage' to whatever he wanted them to do.
Keeps you reading.
