Wagon Train Honor by Linda Ford

Secrets of the heart.

Ruby Woods, travelling west with her family via covered wagon, has a secret talent- she draws breathtaking, detailed pictures of flowers and plants that she longs to share with the world. She’s proud of them and longs for the day her “scribblings” will be valued. Anticipating opposition to her plans, she hasn’t informed her mother that she means to join a group that is cataloging flora of the eastern slopes of the Rockies. When a Mountie disrupts her solitude as she is engrossed in drawing. Ruby’s secret is on the verge of being exposed.
Constable Robert Davis has never known a permanent home. As he nears the end of his service with the North-West Mounted Police, he plans to file a homestead claim where he will put down roots like an oak tree, finally finding a resting place for his heart. After his chance encounter with Ruby, he finds himself drawn to her vulnerability and dreams.

Their time spent amidst the beautiful scenery ignites a flame that neither expected. Yet their goals pull them in opposite directions.
Can they pursue their dreams without sacrificing the chance for love?

“Wagon Train Honor” weaves a tale of hidden talents, unexpected encounters, and the blossoming of love.
