Book Description
In this stirring novel of the Old West from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson, a desperate woman’s impulsive ruse brings a rough-looking stranger into her life... To support her orphaned niece, impoverished Brianna O’Keefe accepts work with a Colorado rancher. To guard herself from unwanted attention, she resorts to a harmless little lie: that she’s married to a Denver gold miner named David Paxton. When her boss forces her to write her “husband,” hoping he’ll take Brianna off his hands, she can only pray that no real David Paxton exists who can expose her. When Colorado marshal David Paxton gets a letter from a stranger claiming to be his wife, and pleading with him to come for her and his “daughter,” he dutifully sets out to find this woman and the child he may have sired. What stuns Brianna is that David is convinced the young girl could, in fact, be his. As David and Brianna’s wary attraction blossoms into a deeper desire, David warms to the idea of a ready-made family. But can his dream survive Brianna’s lingering distrust...and his own heart-held secrets?

Book Description
Faith Bradford grew up in a small town in New York State. In 1965, during her senior year in high school, she discovered that she was pregnant. Her parents were heart-broken by the news. This was not the future they had imagined for their youngest daughter. However, as they made arrangements for a private adoption, their message to her was always, "This baby is a blessing." Once Faith was secure in the knowledge that her newborn daughter had been placed in a loving home, she locked the memory in a tiny corner of her heart and went on with her life. Penny Whitmer, a precious baby girl was adopted in 1966 and raised by a loving family in southern Florida. She was a happy, active child who was secure in the knowledge that she was adopted and had a family that dearly wanted her. Learning about her birth parents had never been on Penny's radar, until after she had a child and approached her fortieth birthday. With trepidation, she contacted Children's Home Society in Florida to begin the search for her birth parents' medical histories. The search would unlock a devastating tragedy and a 40-year-old family secret that would change the lives of Penny and Faith forever.
