Stolen Desires

When Samuel Ottarson rescued Nellie from certain harm, he was dazzled by her beauty and soft touch. Remembering the harsh consequences of becoming involved with a member of the fairer sex, and the deceit and anguish a woman could cause, he quickly retreats from her. He needed to make it clear that he was out west for business and not to chase some bit of skirt who would ultimately break his heart.

Nellie Randolph is running for her life. Finally settling in Hughenden, she hopes for a new start. When she fails to find work as a governess, and with little more than the clothes on her back, she is forced into a life of pickpocketing.

As Nellie and Samuel continue to cross paths, their affection for each other grows until he catches her trying to steal from him. Events that evening become even more dangerous when Nellie finds herself on the run from a murderer. Samuel swears to protect her
