Callie

Callie Cartwright knows one thing for certain: she needs to leave town—and fast. With her husband dead and a baby on the way, her future hangs by a thread. If the truth about how her husband died ever surfaces, she'll be lucky to survive long enough to give birth. Desperation leads her to seek a fresh start through an agency, agreeing to marry a man who needs a mail-order bride. Though she's a city girl, the idea of living on a remote horse ranch feels like her only escape. One week later, she boards a train to meet her future husband, hoping this will be her way out. But when the train breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Callie's plan starts to unravel. Time is slipping away, and her fear grows. Desperate and alone, she finds herself drawn to a handsome stranger with eyes that promise safety, but can she truly trust him? Her heart says yes, but with everything at stake, she can't afford to make the wrong choice.
