The Telegraph and the Heart

She came west to outrun a life that never fit her.

She didn’t expect to find a town, or a man, who would change her heart forever.

Catherine Hartley has lost everything that once defined her. Her future is uncertain and Boston society has no place for a woman determined to stand on her own. Armed with nothing but her late uncle’s debts and her rare skill as a telegraph operator, Catherine heads west to the rugged frontier town of Copper Springs, hoping for a fresh start.

Widowed rancher James Dawson has learned the hard way that the frontier is no place for delicate dreams, or refined Eastern women. His only priority is protecting his young daughter and preserving the fragile life he’s built from loss. Falling in love again is a risk he refuses to take, no matter how strongly he’s drawn to the determined woman who arrives with wires, wit, and a quiet strength he can’t ignore.
