She has two choices: marry a man she barely knows-or seek refuge in the only place a woman has left to go.
When Morgan Carter finds an unconscious woman and two small children alone on the range, he knows only one thing: they need help.
Kathleen knows better than to trust a man.
Her first marriage taught her that husbands can be cruel, promises can be broken, and survival sometimes means running as far and as fast as you can. Now, with two little ones depending on her and another child on the way, Kathleen has reached the end of that road.
Her choices are painfully few.
Then Morgan offers her his name.
Marriage to a near stranger isn't the future Kathleen imagined. But neither is Morgan.
The gentle rancher asks for nothing she isn't ready to give. His family welcomes Kathleen and her children as if they have always belonged among them. And little by little, the frightened young widow begins to discover that strength can protect instead of harm-and that a home doesn't have to be a place where you're afraid.
But the past Kathleen fled hasn't forgotten her.
There are secrets she hasn't told Morgan.
Secrets within the Carter family itself.
And even the old house seems to be holding tightly to stories of its own.
As danger begins creeping toward the life they're building, Morgan will do whatever it takes to protect the woman and children who have unexpectedly become his family.
Kathleen must find the courage to do something that may be even harder than running.
Stay.
And trust that this time, the man beside her means it when he promises she will never face the darkness alone.
The Widow's Heart is Book Two of The Carter Saga, a faith-filled historical Western romance series about family, healing, courage, and finding home in the most unexpected places.
