Abigail Gilbert leaves an unhappy home to cross Regency England and marry the wealthy gentleman she believes will finally give her a secure future. Highwaymen attack her journey, and horse-patrol captain Samuel Thatcher rescues her before reluctantly agreeing to escort her the rest of the way for a fee that could fund his planned retirement. Their dangerous trip becomes more complicated when they acquire an infant and attract enemies who make the road increasingly unsafe. Michelle Griep’s historical romance combines a road adventure, protective hero, and found family with two travelers discovering that the destinations they planned may not be where they belong.
