The Wayward Heart (Escape to the West Book 3)

A heart isn't always the best thing to follow.

Lizzy Cotton dreams of excitement, adventure, and falling madly in love with a cowboy, and she knows she's perfect to be a cattle rancher's mail order bride.

But dreams don't always turn out as planned.

Once she reaches the ranch, her new husband seems determined to avoid her and, bored and lonely, she strikes up a friendship with young ranch hand Elijah. As she loses hope for her marriage and her feelings for Elijah grow, Lizzy fears that coming to California has been a big mistake. One from which she can't escape.

Six mail order brides, one small Californian town, a lot of romance! The Escape to the West series tells the stories of six young women in 1870 who travel across the country to find love. These uplifting Christian historical romances will transport you to a time of courageous women longing for a better life and the strong men dedicated to winning their hearts. Each novel can be read on its own or as part of the series.
