The Trouble We Keep

Newly pregnant, alone, and a fugitive from the law, Emma has run out of time.

After waiting a year for her estranged brother to send for her—a year in which she did whatever it took to survive on her own—Emma has no choice but to flee as a fugitive on a westward train, bound for his last known location.

In Williams, Arizona, surly saloon owner Dean Morelli claims Emma's brother robbed him and ran—and he's not so certain Emma is any more trustworthy. But Dean isn't as callous as he first appears. When Emma stays to find her brother and prove his innocence, she begins to see the real Dean—he's protective, yet guarded and vulnerable, with a painful past of his own.

Emma knew escaping her former life wouldn't be easy, but Dean and her new friends have given her a second chance. When the man she fears most arrives and threatens everything, she'll have to trust in herself, and in the kind of love she never dreamed possible, to fight for her future.
