WHERE THE HEART SETTLES- BOOK #1 Promises Of The Frontier
When Ruth passes away, she leaves behind a heartbroken Savannah and Quinn to face the Montana winters alone with a man whose resentment has curdled into violence. Without Ruth's protection, the children are left to endure the weight of John's broken spirit and heavy hands. In the lawless dust of Bannock, Montana, Savannah is a mother to a sister who doesn't remember her name, and a protector against a father who never knew how to love. Savannah was only a child when her adoptive mother, Ruth, passed away, leaving her at the mercy of John Eden's mounting bitterness and violent hands. To protect her little sister, Quinn, Savannah endured the unthinkable-until a tragic accident shattered their world even further. When Quinn wakes with no memory of their past, she looks at Savannah and sees not a sister, but a mother. To keep the only family she has left, Savannah accepts the weight of that lie, sacrificing her own identity to give Quinn the only safety she's ever known. Years later, Savannah is a woman forged in the fire of survival. When Sheriff Ramsey Colt arrives in town-a widower carrying the burden of his own past and the responsibility of two young sons-he doesn't see a broken girl. He sees a woman of incomparable grit and a spirit that the harsh Montana winters couldn't freeze. Working for Ramsey, Savannah finds a respect she never thought possible for a woman in the Territory. But in a town where the line between law and outlaw is thin, their growing bond is tested by a series of harrowing events that threaten to expose Savannah's secrets and tear her fragile family apart. Through the shadows of her father's legacy, Savannah must decide if she can finally lay down her guard. Together with Ramsey, she might just find that a vow isn't always a burden-it's the foundation of a home where the heart settles
