Stephanie's Stories

2021 Genesis Winner - Novella

​

New York City heiress Madeline Malcolm flees another unwelcome proposal and boards a train for her hometown of Denver, hoping to convince her father to give up his scheme

of marrying her off to a high society husband.

​

Maddie knows that God has a plan for her, and marrying the nose-blowing Mr. Smythe is certainly not it. She longs for the kind of love she had with her childhood sweetheart before her father separated them years ago.

​

Now a lieutenant in the Colorado Cavalry, Zacharias Sutherland is tasked with escorting the Overland Stagecoach to Denver and capturing the Dempsey brothers, two notorious road agents.

​

When Maddie and Zach are reunited on the trail, their feelings resurface, and they begin to hope for a future together, but first, they’ll have to navigate the dangers of the West and the man that deemed Zach unworthy.
