Emmy is a woman ahead of her time. Raised by a healer mother and taught to do the same. She knows she is too independent for any of the men in her little town. Even so, life feels open and full of possibilities, until it’s not. Suddenly Emmy’s world turns upside down as her possibilities shrink down to two.
Refusing to settle for a life of misery and pain Emmy bids goodbye to her friends. She boards a train headed West with a trunk full of borrowed clothes and nothing else. As she comes into Orange Texas, Emmy isn’t expecting love, but maybe fate has different ideas.
Finnian is an angry broken cowboy. His anger reaches new heights when his mother informs him they are headed into town to pick up his bride! Of all the ridiculous ideas: a mail-order bride. And as if Finnian could ever open his heart again. To anyone. Not a chance.
But then a tiny, fiery woman steps off the train and starts to peel back the layers of his wounded heart. Is there a way to let her in? Does he have a choice? Is it possible this fascinating healer can mend the cracks in his soul?
