This Treacherous Journey

<p><strong><em>Escaping north is her last option...And he's the only one with the skill to get her there.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Widowed and with child Emma Malcom is fleeing from the reward offered for her arrest. She's innocent of the dirty dealings her deceased husband orchestrated but the angry townspeople didn't stop to listen to her defense before she narrowly escaped with her life. Now she and her twin brother Joseph must battle the mountain wilderness of the Rockies to reach Canada and the clean start she craves. But when a fall from the rocky cliff leaves Joseph wounded and weak could the strange mountain man they encounter be God's gift to see them to safety?</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> Simeon Grant makes bad choices. His deceased wife and twin babies are lost to him now because of his reckless decisions and the penance he pays by living alone in this mountain wilderness is only a small piece of what he thinks he deserves. When a city woman heavy with child appears on his doorstep with her injured brother her presence resurrects the memories he's worked so hard to forget. And when she asks for his help to travel deeper into the mountain country he can't help but wonder why God would force him to relive the same mistakes he's already suffered through. Or maybe taking these two to safety could be the way to redeem himself.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> But when their travels prove more treacherous than he imagined Simeon finds himself pressing the limits of his ability to keep Emma and her brother safe. Can he overcome the past that haunts him to be the man she needs? Will Emma break through the walls around Simeon's heart before it's too late or will the dangers of these mountains be the end of them all?</span></p>
