In 1894 Texas, former cavalrymen Mark Wallace and Jonah Brooks expect a simple horse delivery, but an unexpected childbirth sends them to Harmony House with a newborn in need of shelter. There, Mark encounters Katherine Palmer, the woman he nearly married ten years earlier, while Jonah is drawn to her fellow caretaker, Eliza Southerland. As old feelings stir and new affection grows, reports of missing children lead the horsemen into a dangerous investigation. Faith, courage, and the determination to protect vulnerable children bind these two love stories together. Settle in for steadfast heroes, capable heroines, and a found family whose hard-won happiness feels especially welcome on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
