Finally on the right side of the law, Aaron Long is driving a freight wagon through the wild Rocky Mountains. The last thing he expects in the middle of an urgent delivery to Settler’s Fort is to discover a woman begging him to take her the opposite direction. She’s heavy with child, so he can’t leave her, but neither can he take her where she wants to go. When Aaron and Katie set out through the mountain winter, the journey ahead will change their lives more than they could have known.
