Can two wounded hearts find a way to trust again?

Julia Grace has no desire to get married again. But with her dead husband’s half-brother threathening to take her Wyoming ranch, Julia realizes marriage may be the only way to keep what is rightfully hers.

Drifter Hugh Brennan is a man well acquainted with betrayal. Hugh is headed west to attempt to find his sisters, Diana and Felicia, since they were separated on an orphan train years ago. Hugh finds himself drawn to the attractive widow, Julia, yet when he looks into her eyes, he recognizes the same hurt that haunts him.

Is it possible God had a hand in bringing Hugh to her door?

BETRAYAL is the second book in Ms. Hatcher’s Where the Heart Lives series. Readers will be anxious to read about the brother in the family of three children separated on an orphan train, and anxious to see if they find each other—and what their lives turned out like.

I grew interested in the Orphan Train as a child when I read a YA book set about children who traveled west of them, looking for a forever home and love. But unfortunately, many were “adopted” only to be used as farm-hands or household help. Hugh promised his mother on her her deathbed he’d look after his sisters and he intents to keep his promise…even almost twenty years later. My heart went out to Hugh.

I enjoyed this series so far, and am looking forward to reading the third book in the series, Diana’s story, Beloved, when it releases. Recommend this series so far. Readers will want to read the first book, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be in order. Belonging released in 2011, but is still available at your favorite bookstore. $14.99. 272 pages.
