Of Peaks and Prairies — Vivi Holt

Genevieve Waters Ewing is married. She's married to a man she doesn't love, and didn't agree to marry. The scoundrel dragged her to the altar, and now everything is going to change. In a split second decision, she runs away, and stows aboard a chuck wagon that's leaving on a cattle drive, heading north to Montana. She doesn't know where she's going, or what she'll do, she only knows one thing - she has to escape from Fort Worth, Texas. Thomas O'Reilly's finally got the chance to prove himself to his Pa. After finding gold in Montana Territory, he travels to Texas to buy a herd of longhorns to take back north with him, where demand for beef is high. Everything is going his way until he discovers a beautiful, young woman asleep in the back of his chuck wagon. A woman on the trail is bad for business, especially in a group of rough and rowdy cowboys. Will she ruin everything he's worked so hard for? Or will she be the one thing he really needs? Follow their journey, from Texas to Montana Territory, where challenges lurk around every corner, and love is forged in the heat of battle. *Please note : This book continues the story of Bill and Sarah Hanover, from The Strong One (Cutter's Creek #2)
