Kaki Warner’s newest novel in the series about unlikely brides who make their way west—and find love where they least expect it… Margaret Hamilton escaped the Irish slums of Five Points as the ward of a wealthy Manhattan widow, but only marriage can make her future secure. Railroad mogul Doyle Kerrigan needs a well-connected wife. It seems a perfect match...until a shocking revelation sends her fleeing from the wedding reception. Desperate to make a fresh start, Margaret takes on a new identity and heads West, finally stopping in Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, a dying mining town of little interest to anyone.

When they both arrive in Heartbreak Creek, she must choose between the town she has come to love, and the man who might finally capture her heart….
