Synopsis

Love weaves together two determined hearts through even the most unexpected paths.  After being widowed on her wedding day, Emma Johnson moves to Cheyenne with her sister-in-law to start over. Emma's life has been marked by wild living and a desire for fun, but the death of her husband forces her to reconsider her priorities. Her brother-in-law Colton Benton travels with them, intending to help Emma get established, but she becomes wary of Colton's intentions, wondering if he is genuinely interested in her or merely after his brother's inheritance—which is now hers.  Colton has harbored feelings for Emma since they first met, and he is caught between his love for her and the pressure from his brothers to marry her for the family's financial benefit. As they settle into Cheyenne, Colton tries to balance his business dealings with the Union Pacific and his growing affection for Emma. With his sister's simple yet profound faith in God as inspiration amidst their struggles, Emma and Colton will be challenged to believe that a divine plan is intricately woven into their lives. "Peterson effectively hooks the reader. … before unspooling a thrilling and textured tale full of twists, lively romantic subplots, and colorful character work. Series fans will be delighted."—Publishers Weekly

Emma's story started off with a bang, quite literally. Her husband was shot on their wedding day, and she became a widow faster than you could say Jack Robinson.

I loved this book! The story of redemption and new found faith had me turning the pages so fast! I fell in love with the characters and the time period.

I love that Emma, the main character, understands God's forgiveness but has to navigate the process of learning to forgive herself. Tha......more
