The Vanishing of Miss Victoria

Love got her into this mess-never loving again would get her out. Corinna Victoria Roberts had never been lucky-not in her choice of husband, or her lot in life after the man she'd eloped with had promptly abandoned her, taking her gold and jewels with him. When her husband's thieving, lawless relatives show up at her door announcing his death and demanding that her late father's fine dining empire be signed over to them, her life is in danger. She flees to take a position no one expects of her-as a Harvey Girl waitress in New Mexico. Tanner Sterling has hunted his last bounty. As the new foreman on his friend's ranch, he wasn't expecting to rescue a Harvey Girl from a raging river his first day. He is intrigued by the shy beauty and becomes friends with Corinna over many meals at the Harvey House. But, when a picture of her on a wanted poster with a massive bounty arrives in Tanner's mail, everything he knows about Corinna shifts. If he doesn't claim the bounty on her head, he knows far less honorable men who would love to ride off with the stunning Harvey Girl. Despite wanting to hang up his past along with his gun belt, Tanner will do anything to protect Corinna from the coming storm.Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance Romance, Fish out of water, Found Family, Hidden Identity, Alpha Male, Tortured Soul, Redemption, Widow, Woman in Peril!
