The Heart Finds a Home

A Sweet Historical Western Romance Novella

She came West to find homes for orphaned children. She never expected to find her own.

Adelaide Montgomery has chaperoned a dozen orphan trains, placing children from New York's overcrowded orphanages with western families. But in Silver Creek, Colorado, her carefully constructed professional facade begins to crack when she clashes with Sheriff Caleb Holt over Jamie Sullivan, a defiant boy no one wants to adopt.

Sheriff Holt knows more about orphan train children than he reveals—his own brother died under the care of a negligent farmer after their placement years ago. Now he's determined to protect Jamie, even if it means challenging the beautiful, stubborn woman who awakens feelings he thought long buried.

When Jamie runs away and nearly loses his life, Addie and Caleb must put aside their differences to save him. As they work together to create a new system that truly serves children's needs, an unexpected love blossoms on the Colorado frontier—proving that family isn't always about blood, but about where the heart finally finds home.
