Red River Girls: Thirsty Quill Press

1847, Ireland.

To fend for her starving family, Maggie O'Shea hunts in the woods where murderers hide and steals from the well-guarded rich. The workhouse haunts her nightmares, but a worse fate awaits if she fails.

Her sister's bones show through pale skin, her mother's coughing fits rattle, and her baby brother's cries grow weaker by the day.

When her father does the unforgivable, Maggie must do the unimaginable to honor a promise to her mother and keep her siblings safe.

Nearby, Lady Evelyn Ward lives in a gilded cage. After two seasons of marriage to a cruel earl still obsessed with his first wife, she plans her escape in hopes of finding a better life.

Together, the Irish pauper and British aristocrat take on the Canadian wilderness-where survival demands more than either young woman thought she had left to give.
