Across the Miles — Brandi Boddie

Deadwood, Dakota Territory, 1879





Phoebe Riley is an agent with the Orphan's Aid Society in New York. When an assignment takes her to Dakota Territory, she discovers that Micah, one of the children, has gone missing. She searches for him in Deadwood, a gold rush town with a reputation for debauchery. More problems arise when the railroad shuts down. Now stranded, she must find a way to provide for herself and Micah until they can safely travel back East.

When general store owner Blane Desmond comes to Phoebe's aid, he quickly learns just how determined she is. But she doesn't see the dangers facing her, including a notorious outlaw gang on the loose. Can Blane put aside his desire for revenge in order to protect her, and find peace and love at last?
