A Love to Redeem His Haunted Heart by Etta Foster

She is a lady ready to surpass every obstacle in her way. He is a reformed man who his past haunts him. A quest for the truth will unite them once and for all…
Having lived all her adult life as a governess in New York, Emmeline Stephens wants nothing more than to venture out of the city and see the world. Stumbling upon a mail order bride ad, she knows that’s her chance to finally make her dream come true.
Ever since he was a teen, Charles Thomas had been forced to lead a dangerous life. Having done his time in prison and with a bullet in his knee that pains him in cold winter nights, all he wants now is a peaceful family life.
But the past never forgets…
When Emmeline arrives in the West, she finds herself confronted with a reality she never expected, as the man now in front of her seems nothing like the man she exchanged letters with! And then, there is this other fellow… He seems familiar as he desperately tries to talk to her…
In their quest to find the truth, Charles and Emmeline are thrown into a wild goose chase.
But the enemy is far sneakier than they thought…
