Book excerpt: Every family has things they can’t talk about. Or won’t. For Clara Martin, the prospect of moving to New York from snowy Chicago is her only option after losing her bakery job. Resigned to her fate, she prepares to go…until a chance encounter with endangered horses reminds her of a letter she received from her friend, Sadie, asking her to come to Tombstone, Arizona Territory, to marry a horse wrangler, sight unseen. For Hank Archer, the only son of gentleman rancher Beau Archer, riding the trail has taken its toll. He wants more than anything to stay put on the ranch and when his grandfather leaves him property nearby, he hopes it will be a way to start a new life. The only problem is that to inherit the property, he has to be married. When Hank’s plans begin to crumble, he finds out that his new bride knows more about horses than he realized. And about people. Can she bring them all together and help Hank realize his dream?
