Can a single day together on horseback change your life forever? Oregon Territory 1852... Labeled a harlot and expelled from a remote logging camp and her work teaching children, Faith Featherby embarks on a journey to return a stolen spirit horse to the little girl whose photograph was hidden in the horse's riding blanket. Orphaned young and stifled by a lifelong shyness, Faith has only her education as a schoolmistress and her memories of her mother's stories. She's not an experienced rider, but a Medicine Hat horse-alleged to have the sacred power to protect its rider-might be her best hope for surviving the wilderness... until an Osage warrior rides out of the mist. Scarred by a brutal past, the warrior challenges Faith to follow a new path where belief in yourself and your partner, be they horse or man, can lead to a triumph of the heart. Follow a path. Find a partner. Fight for a future together. Following Faith is a stand-alone novella set in a beautiful but dangerously unforgiving wilderness. It's also the second book in the award-winning Lonesome Hearts series which can be read in any order.

Can a sister who's lied to everyone find truth with the wrong man?Secrets are everywhere... From the moment she met her sisters in a Qu'Appelle Valley orphanage, Oriole has rewritten her past to protect her present. Now Lark is married, Wren is lost, and Oriole is on a mission to find Wren before their cruel and controlling troupe manager does. In order to succeed, she must cling to her lies and evade the only man she ever let come close, the beguilingly talkative Llewellyn brother who deserted her without a word. Second chances are few... From the moment he first heard Oriole sing with her sisters in a Cheyenne saloon, notoriously scatterbrained Heddwyn Llewellyn's desire to change gained focus. Until tragedy struck.

Now, after two years apart, Oriole's finally back in his life and so is a shot at redemption. The Songbird Sisters' quest for freedom may have reunited Oriole and Heddwyn, but it's also tearing them apart.
