Texas, 1868. Emma Taggart has finally found a place to belong – setting up Heaven’s Door orphanage with her sister Maura was a new beginning for her – and one she will do anything to protect.
When guarded ex-army man Stone Landry buys the neighboring land and moves in – camels and all – Emma’s world changes forever. He is an infuriating man who instantly gets under her skin – in ways she never dreamed possible, and despite herself, Emma starts to wonder if, just maybe, he is man enough to take on a Hangman’s daughter . . . But their newfound connection is quickly tested by violent night raids, kidnappings, and underhand tricks by powerful rancher Zeke Parker, who is intent on running them out of town and taking the land he deems to be his. Can Emma find enough courage to trust in Stone to give her the life, the family, she’s always dreamed of?

Rating: 5/5
I was completely blown away by this book! Set in San Antonio in 1868, Emma and her sister set up an orphanage that they through their whole heart into and will do anything to protect. When her new neighbor, Stone Landry moves in, she simply cannot stand him. But over time their end goals align, and they do what they can to fight for their land.
The character’s in this story were truly the magic of the book. I found myself invested in each and every one of them. This book had so much to offer, but the characters really drove this story home for me.
I really loved the chemistry between Emma and Stone. Their banter was leaving me wanting more and more between them and kept me up late some times. I loved how their love story evolved and how they became a formidable team at the end.
I also really enjoyed Emma’s connection and time she spends with the children at the orphanage. This really brought warmth to my heart and it seeing Emma’s love for the children really made her fighting for their land mean so much more. She was not just fighting for the land, but for the children that lived there so they could have a place to live.
What a beautiful story! I couldn’t put this one down so be sure to check it out!
I’m a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of western romance novels and short stories. Watching TV westerns during my youth fed my love of cowboys and the old West and they still do. On a still day, I can often hear the voices of American Indians, Comancheros, and early cowboys whispering in the breeze here on the high West Texas plains. We refer to this land as “cowboy” country and men here still ride the range just as cowboys of old. My stories focus on family life and almost all have children.

Thank you so very much for liking this book, beccarose! These story people became so real to me and at times I just had to stop writing and have a good laugh or cry a bit. Little Henry leading his friends on a mission to rescue their beloved Miss Em was one. Another particular one was Stone laying down the law to the kids and them not paying him any mind. I think this had much deeper emotion in it than the first one. Thank you for taking Emma, Stone, and the others into your heart and giving them some love.
