Can Love Survive The Secrets Buried Deep In The Plains? Gus Quaid has endured life's cruelest blows-none more devastating than the loss of his wife to a Brule Sioux raid. Content with solitude and his work as an Army scout, he avoids entanglements until a bold, city-bred beauty in a Fort Benton saloon catches his eye. Intrigued by her fire and desperation, he makes a daring proposal-and is promptly rejected. But Gus isn't one to walk away from a challenge. Tori Barrett has known betrayal and hardship, first by a husband who left her broken, then by a business partner with dangerous demands. On the run and desperate for a way out, she sees in Gus a chance at safety, even if his penetrating gaze unsettles her carefully guarded secrets. With the promise of protection, she boards the Nellie Peck bound for Fort Randall, but Tori quickly learns Gus's trust is hard-won-and easily shattered. As the pair journey toward the railroad, the rugged plains strip away pretense, forcing them to confront old wounds and undeniable longing. But Tori's past has a long reach, and when they arrive in Ogallala, it brings a reckoning neither of them expects. Faced with betrayal, guilt, and a shocking revelation from Gus's own shattered past, they must decide if the love growing between them is strong enough to survive-or if the frontier will claim their hearts, as it has so many before.
Autorenporträt
After a rewarding career as a teacher of science, a visit to the Rocky Mountains led a spellbound Susanna Lane to resurrect stories from history and write about the settlement of the West. As part of absorbing details of the locales of her stories, she learned to ride horses, fit into cattle drives, and hike to remote regions of the Rockies. Married for forty-seven years to an avid gardener and traveler, who shared her interest in historical locations until his passing, Susanna still loves to visit new places. Susanna loves to read and spend time with family and friends. And of course... she devotes time for writing each day. She has two grown sons and their charming wives. Best of all, she has four darling grandchildren who fill her life with delight.
