Sheltering Her Courageous Heart

A man yearning for forgiveness. A woman fulfilling a promise; the danger that brings them together.

Caleb Chapman has never recovered from his brother’s death. He blames himself and vows to spend his remaining days protecting his family. The chance for adventure calls when he leads a cattle drive from Texas to Nebraska. What he doesn’t expect is to find a beautiful woman with no memory of who she is or how she got there.

Lydia Whitcomb has no memory of why she’s on the run or protecting a seven-year-old boy. She just knows that something terrible has happened and she is now on a cattle drive to Nebraska. What she doesn’t expect is a handsome cowboy to watch over her until her memory can return.

What is the secret Lydia has been hiding? Will Lydia be able to hide her feelings for Caleb as easily as she hides her memories? Once her secret comes to light, will it tear the couple apart, or finally be the reckoning they need?
