Grace Mallory works as a telegraph operator in Harper’s Station, a women’s colony where she hopes to stay hidden from the men who killed her father. When coded threats begin arriving over the wire, she reaches out to fellow operator Amos Bledsoe, whose friendship has developed entirely through Morse code. Amos travels to Texas when Grace’s danger becomes impossible to ignore, bringing their long-distance connection into the real world. Karen Witemeyer’s second Ladies of Harper’s Station novel combines Western suspense, faith, and romance with the unusual intimacy of two people who fall for each other one telegraphed message at a time.
