Overview

Silver City is where secrets go to look respectable.Edward Oliver arrives wearing a tailored suit and a name polished enough to pass inspection-but no amount of wealth can bury the life he lived before, or the woman he failed to protect. The frontier taught him how to survive. This city will test whether survival is enough. She lives here now. Married into power. Trapped in a life she never chose. Officially, Edward is in Silver City on business. Unofficially, every step he takes draws him closer to a past he's been running from-and a reckoning he can no longer avoid. In a place where influence is deadlier than bullets and cruelty hides behind courtesy, helping someone isn't simple... and rescue comes with consequences no gunman ever prepared him for. To reach her, Edward must walk a careful line between who he was and who he's trying to become-knowing one wrong move could cost him the fragile future he's built, and the only woman who ever truly changed him. Out here, courage isn't forged in gun smoke alone. Sometimes it's tested in restraint-where love is dangerous, power is patient, and sacrifice rarely looks heroic.

Reviews

A beautifully written western romance that feels both classic and heartfelt. The story of Tabitha and Tom unfolds naturally, with emotions that feel real and characters that stay in your mind long after finishing the book. The writing is confident and engaging, with a strong sense of place and time that brings the western setting to life. Even for readers who don't usually choose this genre, this novella offers a pleasant surprise - it's warm, well-paced, and deeply human. A touching and memorable story that captures courage, love, and the quiet strength of redemption. - George It was awesome! I liked the main characters, and loathe the appropriate ones. The end has an intriguing twist and I would really like to read more! - Phthon This book was very exciting! I enjoyed the Western style, and the characters were believable and interesting. There is some violence but nothing gory. I liked that Tabitha and Tom learned and grew because of their experiences. This book was definitely worth reading, and I'm excited to read more! - Madeline Brousseau I think the title is a perfect descriptor for the story. I'm not a huge romance reader but I love an Old West romance and this one is no exception! I really felt for Tabitha and her situation she was a tool to her family and every time she seems to find something good or a place of peace she's reminded of that fact in a most unpleasant way. There's a bit of a cliffhanger but that's to be expected as this is book one of three. Liked the twist at the end and I'm eager to see how things play out in the next book! - Michelle Romance meets coming of age, plus true calling, Western struggles and personal and heart destinies - Molly G.
