Ambush of the Heart
Marshal Owen Riley is escorting Delaney Bridger, her brother, and a prisoner toward Fort Russell when outlaws ambush the party and leave several people wounded. The survivors take refuge at a remote ranch while Delaney helps nurse her injured brother and a wounded marshal. With the gang still pursuing them, the group cannot remain hidden indefinitely, and the growing attraction between Owen and Delaney develops under constant threat. This 1870s Colorado frontier romance launches a series with survival, lawmen, bandits, faith, and Connealy's trademark mix of danger and high-spirited romance.
