By: Leslie Hales

Alice Kuiper has always felt like a bird in a gilded cage. When she’s forced into an unwanted marriage, she decides flee West, reinventing herself as a teacher at an orphanage in Colorado. Hiding her true identity, she hopes to find freedom, but never expects to find herself falling for the institution’s dedicated headmaster…

After being silenced by powerful men who once corrupted his beloved orphanage, Ebenezer Penn fled West for a fresh start. The arrival of the teacher, with her warmth and strength, breathes new life into the children’s home and stirs feelings he thought he’d long buried.

When a figure from Penn’s past arrives at the orphanage, determined to destroy everything he’s worked for, and Alice’s past threatens her escape, can their fragile love survive the weight of their secrets?
