Trail of Desire: A Steamy Western Romance

Cecilia Hammond never imagined she would be stranded in the middle of nowhere when she and her father traveled west during the gold rush. Her father had mistakenly left without her one morning, abandoning her in the wilds and wilderness along the wagon trail west to California. Alone and afraid, she knew she was prey to many of the men traveling west. When Captain Jesse Thomas and his calvary of soldiers came through, she knew she had to plead for their help to rescue her and take her with them the rest of the way to California. While she was under the protection of the calvary, Cecilia was grateful to the Captain, who was protecting her from the dangers of the western frontier, but who would protect her from the Captain. He had a devilishly handsome smile that made her forget everything. Every part of her was drawn to him. She couldn’t resist him and found she didn’t want to.

When he picked up Cecilia, little did he know that his whole world would be turned upside down by this captivating woman. Soon he would find he would do anything to have her.
