Blaze of Courage

A mysterious locket brings a fire survivor and a wounded veteran together, but their growing feelings might be more dangerous than the men pursuing them.

Charlotte Clarke survived the flames that destroyed her town and took her family, but at what cost? Left injured and alone, she seizes the chance for a fresh start when a dying friend asks her to take a locket to a relative in Kentucky. But she has no means to reach her destination until she meets a handsome horse trainer headed south and convinces him to let her travel with him.

Haunted by his years in the cavalry and desperate to save his family's failing stables, Stefan Roberts is focused on transporting his father's racehorses to Kentucky for the spring races. He isn't looking for complications-especially not in the form of a determined young woman with secrets of her own. Yet as they travel together, Charlotte's courage and determination begin to crack the walls he's built around his heart.

When a shadowy pursuer closes in, Stefan and Charlotte must face the pasts they've been running from, and the faith they thought they'd left behind, before their fragile hopes for the future go up in smoke.
