To find redemption, he must first find his way home.
The railroad didn’t just tear the prairie in two—it shattered Shannon Highmore’s world.
Jack Duncon was a man of silver-tongued promises and a smile that could make a saint stumble. As a reckless rogue wandering the Wild West, he left a trail of broken hearts behind him. But none felt the sting of his departure more than Shannon, the pastor’s daughter he seduced and abandoned. He rode away into the sunset, never looking back, and never knowing the tragic path his betrayal forced her to walk.
Years have passed, and the girl he left behind is gone.
In her place stands a woman hardened by survival, with a heart as cold as the Sierra Nevada peaks. When fate—and the iron rails of the expanding frontier—brings Jack back into her life, Shannon isn’t looking for an apology. She’s looking for a reckoning.
Now, amidst the breathtaking beauty and brutal danger of the high mountains, two former lovers become bitter enemies. But in the West, hate and passion are two sides of the same coin. As they face off in a heated duel of wills, a single question remains:
Can the tracks of the past be rewritten, or are some ties broken beyond repair?
