A Southern widow seeking a new beginning. A Union soldier trying to outrun his past. A thousand-mile journey that will test every belief they hold.

After the Civil War shatters her life, Annabelle Rutledge leaves Charleston with her remaining family, determined to build a future in the goldfields of Montana. Their wagon train—an uneasy mix of former Confederates, Union veterans, freedmen, and desperate fortune-seekers—must cross a vast and dangerous frontier where every mile brings new threats.

Guiding them is Josey Angel, a quiet, battle-scarred Union cavalryman with a deadly reputation he never asked for. Annabelle is drawn to his unexpected gentleness … and unsettled by the secrets behind his hardened eyes. As storms, disease, and hostile terrain take their toll, the two form a bond born of shared grief and grit—until a shocking revelation from Annabelle’s past threatens to tear their fragile trust apart.

And danger is closing in from all sides.

A ruthless band of ex-soldiers tracks the wagons, hunting stolen Confederate gold that one traveler has hidden among them. Ahead lies the Bozeman Trail, where tensions with Sioux warriors defending their sacred homelands are rising toward open war. When violence erupts, Annabelle and Josey must rely on courage, loyalty, and each other if they hope to survive a confrontation that will change all their lives.

A sweeping tale of love, danger, and redemption on the American frontier.

Kirkus Reviews calls Trail Angel “a timeless tale of love and adventure on the American frontier… affectingly written, composed with emotional intelligence and historical insight.”

This series starter is perfect for readers of frontier epics, historical adventure, and character-driven romances set against the shadows of a nation rebuilding from war.
