Hope in Her Heart (Brides of Hope Hollow Book 5)

Description

June 1882

Emma Hutchins is tired of being stuck at home, helping her mother tend to her eight younger siblings. She wants adventure and romance. But mostly, she wants a new life outside of Hope Hollow, Oregon.

When she is held up during a bank robbery, she needs help getting out of the terrifying situation alive. When that help comes in the form of U.S. Marshal Patrick Carter, she doesn’t know whether to slug him—or kiss him.

Patrick Carter left southern Oregon years ago after an argument with his father. Now both of his parents are gone, and he wants to rebuild his relationship with his sister, who is married and living in Hope Hollow. The problem? Lovely Miss Emma Hutchins, who thinks she’s smart and brave enough to chase after a couple of dangerous bandits. Fearing she’ll get herself killed in the process—and maybe him, too—Patrick reluctantly partners up with her even though it goes against everything he’s been taught. And the townspeople are talking . . .

But when Patrick and Emma discover an even bigger plot to swindle money from innocent folks, they are faced with more danger than they first realized. Will their growing attraction get in the way of catching the thieves, or will they finally be able to admit their feelings for each other?
