A Love Discovered (The Heart of Cheyenne, #1)

Invited by a friend to trek west and help establish the newly formed town of Cheyenne, Edward Vogel is prepared to leave the painful memories of his wife and son's deaths behind him. The only problem is the corrupt new railroad town wants family men who can establish law and order, so Edward approaches his friend Marybeth with a proposition of marriage.

After her father's death leaves her with no means of support, Marybeth Kruger is in danger of having her two-year-old half sister taken from her. So when Edward Vogel, the widower husband of her late best friend, offers her a marriage of convenience, she has no choice but to accept.

Life in Cheyenne is fraught with danger, but will this arrangement be enough to save Edward and Marybeth from the pasts they attempted to escape? Or will life with each other put them--and their hearts--in more danger than ever?

Renowned for her storytelling power and insight into the human heart, bestselling author Tracie Peterson takes you on an unforgettable journey rich in romance and historical detail in this sweeping series starter.
