Disguised as a Pony Express rider, Aleksandra races across the rugged frontier, fleeing the Cossack assassin who killed her father.

But the Paiute are rising, the desert is unforgiving, and her enemies are closing in.

Xavier has given up on love. Haunted by his past and bound to his duty as a Pony Express station keeper, he lives a life of solitude—until a fiery rider gallops into his world, dragging danger behind her. When he discovers her secret, he must choose between protecting his heart or risking everything to keep her safe.

Caught in the crossfire of the Paiute War and hunted by a relentless enemy, Aleksandra and Xavier must learn to trust each other if they hope to survive.

Whispers of secession echo across the West, and Confederate sympathizers are quietly gathering power, plotting to rip California from the Union. Determined to protect his family’s rancho, Xavier leads Aleksandra on a perilous journey through the rugged frontier, unaware that treachery lurks closer than they think.

From the booming silver mines of Virginia City to the sprawling lands of California, they confront political intrigue and rising tensions that threaten to consume everything they hold dear. But as ambition and betrayal close in, Xavier finds himself ensnared in a web of deception that could destroy his family’s legacy—and take Aleksandra from him forever.

Aleksandra refuses to be a victim. When Confederate agents target her in their quest for power, she faces them head-on, risking everything to protect those she loves. But her courage puts her in the crosshairs of a deadly enemy who won’t rest until she’s silenced. Kidnapped and taken aboard the J.M. Chapman in San Francisco Bay, she faces her greatest challenge yet.

Desperate, yet determined to rebuild, they set sail for New Zealand, hoping for a fresh start. But paradise is not what it seems.

Separated by betrayal and danger, Aleksandra must navigate a land on the brink of war, where loyalty is uncertain, and trust is a luxury she can’t afford. With her beloved Mustang by her side, she faces enemies she never saw coming and finds unexpected allies among those fighting for their land. As she races to find Xavier, she is drawn into a conflict that could destroy everything she loves.

Xavier’s journey is no less perilous. Pursued by those who would see him dead, he faces a treacherous path filled with deceit and danger. As he battles to clear his name, every step brings him closer to a truth that could shatter them both.
