The Wayward Heart (Escape to the West Book 3) Kindle Edition
A heart isn't always the best thing to follow.
Lizzy Cotton dreams of excitement, adventure, and falling madly in love with a cowboy, and she knows she's perfect to be a cattle rancher's mail order bride.
But dreams don't always turn out as planned.
Once she reaches the ranch, her new husband seems determined to avoid her and, bored and lonely, she strikes up a friendship with young ranch hand Elijah. As she loses hope for her marriage and her feelings for Elijah grow, Lizzy fears that coming to California has been a big mistake. One from which she can't escape.
Six mail order brides, one small Californian town, a lot of romance! The Escape to the West series tells the stories of six young women in 1870 who travel across the country to find love. These uplifting Christian historical romances will transport you to a time of courageous women longing for a better life and the strong men dedicated to winning their hearts. Each novel can be read on its own or as part of the series.

About the author
![Nerys Leigh](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/amzn-author-media-prod/7e1e5bpah6e8u2ev1v1gi29rq3._SY600_.jpg)
In her mind, Nerys Leigh lives in a fairytale castle with turrets and secret passageways and sentient brooms that do the cleaning for her. In reality, she lives in a small Victorian house (with no original features) and her broom is resolutely inanimate, no matter how much she sings to it. But reality is overrated anyway.
She writes books that are heart-warming, funny, exciting, and above all, wildly romantic, because that’s what she likes to read. And she adores a blissfully happy ending.
She’s British, but she suspects she might be slowly turning into an American while she writes her stories set in the Wild West filled with mail order brides and railroads and cowboys. Sometimes she puts a U into a word, just to see if she still can. She can’t do the accent though.
Nerys can be found lurking at nerysleigh.com, and if you’d like a free book about a handsome blacksmith, sign up for her newsletter at http://eepurl.com/b-Gj2T and she’ll send you one, because she’s nice like that.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023This book kept me on my toes the whole time! Half way through I knew how I wanted it to end but couldn’t figure out how it could end that way. Such an amazing story, I will visit them again and again!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020Lizzy and Richard had been writing for months and he finally asked her to marry him and travel to California. When they married Richard was much less enthusiastic than Lizzy was about the marriage, in fact seemed to avoid her more than he ever saw it talked to her. As the time moved forward Lizzy made friends with the men who worked the ranch.
As Richard disappeared late each night, it became more than she could handle. Should she follow him or believe he was tending the cattle? What could possibly happen if she found out the truth? A very unique Mail Order Bride saga to be sure!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022As in the previous three books this one read also well ridden.however this book was header at times to follow in that the plot never to go to a certain point. You never really seem to know where it was going. Great ending and a topic well explored.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019Boy Oh Boy, were the twist and turns in your storytelling and phenomenal characters exceptional. Lizzy and Elijah had a hard time finding and fighting for each other. God's hand and love was with them the entire journey from beginning to end. This was a very intriguing story and ending. Thank you.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019I love this authors books for her integrity. I know I won’t be surprised, and then disappointed because I have to stop reading the book because of vulgar words thrown in for what reasons I guess I’ll never know, but don’t enhance any book, in my opinion. If one would not dream of reading a book to their young children or grandchildren, they should not read it either. Period. Keep up the good and Clean fun. Thank you 😊
- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023Such an intriguing story of God’s graciousness. Never could I have guessed the turn of events that turned heartbreak into joy!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2021A wonderful story of twists and turns, adventure and intrigue, unexpected developments, and the Lord's faithfulness to see it all through to a happy ending!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021This is the best one of the series so far. I loved Elijah and Lizzy’s story. So many different emotions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Story
Not the standard romance. A surprising twist in the story from the standard romance story. I enjoyed reading this story which had some interesting faith bits.
