Braley's Road (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781965906071)

There are some roads no one should ever have to travel

Braley Stuart has escaped from one nightmare into another. Her only reason for living, if she's not too late, is two thousand miles away. Now she is lost and alone, crossing the prairie with nothing but a desperate determination to keep going. She has no time for well-meaning cowboys, and the last thing she wants is a husband.

Laith Demoranville has his own problems, but being lost isn't one of them. He is in competition to inherit his family's ranch. He is also in need of a wife to meet the stipulations set forth by his father. His ideal woman is certainly not an untouchable tomboy with wounds that run much deeper than his own, but the least he can do is help her on her way. Will he still be there when her past comes back to haunt her? What happens when his own road takes a turn for the worse? Can they help each other through the trials that lie ahead?

Saddle up and journey through a pivotal time of growth and hardship in a struggling young country. What do the Oregon Trail, the Transcontinental Railroad, and true love have in common? They're all on Braley's road. Can you handle the ride?

It's 1865, and Braley Stuart is alone in the world with no place to turn; her only choice, a stranger, a husband by correspondence. That was her first mistake. Her second is standing in defiance, an act that will lead her on the most difficult journey of her life with one thing on her mind-not giving up. So begins a story set in a growing young country, when tough people made tough choices, setting out with littlemore than dreams and the courage to cross a vast land. It takes courage, too, to look beyond only what we wish to see. Laithram Demoranville faces his own journey fraught with revelations, including those of the heart. I invite you to follow along on Braley's Road, a story I hope will serve as a reminder of the healing power of love and of how tough we really are.
