The Accidental Guardian

By: Mary Connealy

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett

When Trace Riley finds the smoldering ruins of a small wagon train, he recognizes the hand behind the attack as the same group who left him as sole survivor years ago. Living off the wilderness since then, he'd finally carved out a home and started a herd - while serving as a self-appointed guardian of the trail, driving off dangerous men. He'd hoped those days were over, but the latest attack shows he was wrong.

Deborah Harkness saved her younger sister and two toddlers during the attack and now finds herself at the mercy of her rescuer. Trace offers the only shelter for miles around and agrees to take them in until she can safely continue. His simple bachelor existence never anticipated kids and women in the picture, and their arrival is unsettling - yet enticing. Working to survive the winter and finally bring justice to the trail, Trace and Deborah find themselves drawn together - yet every day approaches the moment she'll leave forever.

Heartwarming story

A great story and faith filled. A story that inspires a trust in living a life with good morals and trust in God. 🙂

Great story line

Loved the story line and characters. I appreciate the bond and trust the men had for each other and the respect and care they showed to the female characters. The woman were strong and understanding. I loved had the characters grew and changed in the story. The story had some good twist and kept my attention.

Enthralling story of the West with mystery.

This is a fast moving exciting story. Character development is excellent. I could hardly wait to get to the end.
