Synopsis
When Clara Whitfield receives the devastating news of her estranged brother's death in the Wyoming Territory, she leaves her quiet life in Chicago to claim the homestead he left behind. But the land holds more than memories: among them, a silent six-year-old boy and a guarded neighbor whose presence unsettles her more than she cares to admit. Elijah Stone never trusted the sister of the man he once called brother. Certain she’s come only to take what isn’t hers, he’s unprepared for Clara’s fierce determination to work the land, and for the tenderness she shows the child he’s taken under his wing. And the more he sees, the more his certainty begins to fracture… Bound together by grief and responsibility, Clara and Elijah must protect the young boy and stand side by side against a ruthless rancher determined to drive her away. Somewhere between suspicion and survival, love takes root and asks more of them than either is ready to give. "A Home for Silent Hearts" is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Tropes: Falling for a Native American, Abandoned/ Orphan Baby, Brooding Hero
