The Claim on Haven Creek

By H Ludwig

Montana Territory, 1884.

Kathrine Sterling didn't come west looking for love. She came looking for a way out - out of a suffocating engagement, out of a life that had never quite fit. Her teaching contract in the small frontier town of Wilsall was supposed to be her fresh start. Her four walls of freedom.

She didn't expect Caleb Morgan.

A former cavalryman who came home from the war with nothing but his own two hands, Caleb has spent four years building something out of raw Montana ground - a homestead he calls Haven Creek, and a solitude he's not sure he wants broken. He doesn't have room in those plans for a sharp-tongued schoolteacher from back East.

Then a blizzard changes everything.

Stranded together in a one-room schoolhouse as temperatures plunge and a town full of judgmental eyes waits for dawn, Kathrine and Caleb survive the night - and ignite a scandal neither of them asked for, and a wanting neither of them expected. Now, to protect her reputation and his land, they'll have to build more than a homestead. They'll have to build a life, side by side, in a place that rewards stubbornness and punishes pride.

The Claim on Haven Creek is a story about two people learning that the hardest thing to build isn't a barn or a boundary fence - it's the willingness to let someone else in.
