The Ruby Brooch

A grieving paramedic. A rugged Scotsman. A 2,000-mile journey across time.

She shouldn’t have survived the car crash that killed her parents. She shouldn’t have learned that her life was built on a lie. And she definitely shouldn’t have opened the ruby brooch. But she did.

When grief-stricken paramedic, artist, and equestrian Kit MacKlenna uncovers her father’s journal, she learns the impossible: She was abandoned as an infant on the Oregon Trail in 1852. The only clues to her past are a blood-stained lace shawl, a miniature portrait, and an ancient Celtic brooch with the power to carry her across time. Determined to finish her father’s decades-long search, Kit leaves her entire world behind and steps into the past.

The Oregon Trail is brutal, but it’s Cullen Montgomery who is truly dangerous. When Kit pulls a drowning boy from a raging river and performs a desperate, lifesaving resuscitation, she crosses a line she can’t uncross, especially with Cullen.

A sharp-witted Scotsman bound for San Francisco, Cullen is drawn to Kit from the moment they meet. Thrown together on a perilous, months-long wagon train journey, Kit refuses to walk away and face failure, and Cullen is determined to uncover what she’s hiding. As she sketches the sweeping pioneer scenery, her incredible artistic eye and uncanny medical skills only convince him further that she’s not what she claims to be.

Suspicion turns to desire as the trail grows deadlier, and trust becomes a risk neither can afford to take.

Trapped by the unforgiving wilderness, the truth Kit has been chasing may cost her the very identity and legacy she crossed time to find, including the man she was never supposed to love.
