She survived the fire. He's still trapped in one.

Sheriff Abe Vosburg has spent thirty years keeping Lilac City safe. While the worst days may be behind them, there’s always another reckless cowboy itching to prove himself—and Abe’s not sure how many more close calls he has left. With his sister newly married, the house they once shared feels too quiet, and the job that once gave him purpose now makes him wonder if he’ll end up dying in it.

Widow Hannah Kendrick arrives in Wyoming with her grown children and grandchildren, seeking peace after losing almost everything in the San Francisco earthquake. She’s not looking for love—but the town’s gruff sheriff stirs feelings she thought long dead.

As danger creeps back into Lilac City, Abe must decide if he’s ready to protect more than just the town—because Hannah’s quiet courage might just be the reason he finally stops surviving... and starts living.

Set against the sweeping backdrop of 1906 Wyoming, An Angel for Abe is a clean, heartfelt romance about second chances, healing, and love blooming in the unlikeliest of hearts.
