Spending five months eating trail dust wasn't Leo Spencer's first choice. Or his second. He's not one to run away, but some situations can't be fixed and his family-two brothers and a sister-needs to start over. Which is how he finds himself on a westbound wagon train. Evangeline has a secret, one that has sent her on a journey across the plains on the Oregon Trail. When her father is badly hurt and she needs help, Leo is there. A deal is struck and the two unlikely friends form an alliance... that leads to more. But Evangeline's secret looms over her... and Leo's family troubles are far from over.
