19thcentury cowboy fiction forbidden historical love olderman outlaw sheriff slowburn western wildwest youngerwoman

She never imagined a life in any other form. For 22 years, Amelia Layton has been stuck in a loveless home with an uncle who ignored her existence. Her only escape was her late Aunt Mae's seamstress shop in their little dusty town of Hawthorne.

But her escape soon becomes a backdrop for forbidden secrets and moments that would hold Amelia's only source of happiness...but for how long?

Marshall Trevors, spending too many years alone after the fall of what little family he had known, decides a move to a different climate might help his ailment. Too many years living a hard life on the ground, too many wounds, too many bullets, and too large of a price on his head. He decides on a little dusty town in Colorado. Hawthorne seems to be a nice enough place to lay low, maybe for however long he has left.  

He never took into consideration that he may possibly find more than just a home but also friendship among the townsfolk and ranchers. And for some reason, the little seamstress of the town never seems to be far from his mind.All Rights Reserved
