Joyce Armor

On her own in America since the age of 15, Carys Rees of Taibach, Wales, dreams for years of opening a sandwich shop. After seven years of service to a family in Pennsylvania, she escapes from an obsessive, brutish relative of her employers by advertising herself out west as a housekeeper. She escapes her violent nemesis only to discover that her new employer in Dakota Territory lied about everything.
Not only that, he also got himself killed. Now she's reluctantly taken in by the huge, handsome, opinionated owner of the livery-a widower with a wacky great aunt and young son-who believes his guest is pregnant and crazy. He thinks so poorly of her already. Should she tell him she's also being stalked?
