Invited by a friend to trek
west and help establish the newly formed town of Cheyenne, Edward Vogel
is prepared to leave the haunting memories of his wife and son's deaths
behind him. The only problem is the corrupt new railroad town wants
family men who can establish law and order, and desperation leads Edward
to his friend Marybeth with a proposition of marriage.
After her
father's death leaves her with no means of support, Marybeth Kruger is
in danger of having her two-year-old half sister taken from her. So when
Edward Vogel, the widower husband of her late best friend, offers her a
marriage of convenience to escape both their troubles, she has no
choice but to accept.
Life in Cheyenne is fraught with danger,
but will this arrangement be enough to save Edward and Marybeth from the
pasts they tried to escape? Or will life with each other put them--and
their hearts--in more danger than ever?

My Review
I really loved this book, it was answers to prayer that Marybeth and Edward find themselves married, if just in name! It was a sad journey to make it happen, but then they start a new life in the West, again a journey to get there, we sure take a lot for granted!
Can't imagine making my home in a tent in the middle of winter, but this young couple with their two year old do so! Cheyenne is such a lawless town as the railroad comes through, some people here are just plain evil.
We see the struggles here, and the faith of the community, that things will get better, and more affordable!
Now I can't wait for for the next book in this series!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
