The Fugitive Bride
Marian Ashford
She fled the gilded halls of Washington to escape a deadly conspiracy. She didn’t expect to find a man who would make her want to stop running forever.
After Julianna's senator father is murdered, Julianna becomes the next target for the killers. Armed with devastating evidence and a borrowed identity, she flees west as a mail-order bride, hoping to vanish into the rugged landscape of Twin Rivers, Colorado.
Mine owner Elias Thorne is holding on by a thread. Haunted by the suspicious accident that took his brother's life, his only priority is protecting his young niece, Pippa, from a looming custody battle. To keep his family together, Elias needs a wife who can provide a stable home -- not a refined woman with silver-gray eyes and a past she won’t discuss.
As loyalties are tested, Julianna must decide whether she’s brave enough to reveal her true identity to save the man she loves.
Because some truths are worth risking your life for.
The Fugitive Bride is the first book in the Hearts of the High Country series -- a sweeping, emotional frontier romance filled with resilience and a love that grows stronger against the odds.
