The Telegraph and the Heart

De: Marian Ashford

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She came west to outrun a life that never fit her.

She didn’t expect to find a town — or a man — who would change her heart forever.

Catherine Hartley has lost everything that once defined her. Her future is uncertain and Boston society has no place for a woman determined to stand on her own. Armed with nothing but her late uncle’s debts and her rare skill as a telegraph operator, Catherine heads west to the rugged frontier town of Copper Springs, hoping for a fresh start.

Widowed rancher James Dawson has learned the hard way that the frontier is no place for delicate dreams — or refined Eastern women. His only priority is protecting his young daughter and preserving the fragile life he’s built from loss. Falling in love again is a risk he refuses to take, no matter how strongly he’s drawn to the determined woman who arrives with wires, wit, and a quiet strength he can’t ignore.

When a violent thunderstorm threatens the town’s telegraph line, Catherine risks everything to keep Copper Springs connected — and proves she’s far stronger than James ever believed. But one devastating mistake could cost James his ranch, his livelihood, and the fragile hope he’s begun to feel again.

As loyalties are tested, Catherine must decide whether she’s brave enough to claim a future she never imagined — and James must choose between guarding his heart and trusting it once more.

Because some messages are worth risking your heart for.

The Telegraph and the Heart is the first book in the Hearts of Copper Springs series — a tender, emotionally rich frontier romance filled with resilience, found family, and love that grows stronger against the odds.
