2022 Selah Award Winner for Historical Romance Sarah Feight has her life planned with a loving husband, a promising new settlement, and big dreams to shape the future of trade on Pennsylvania's frontier. An Indian attack at dawn changes everything. When he pulls his freight wagons into Fort Pitt, Leith McCully never dreams he'll be conscripted into the militia and ordered to defend the fort. Worried about trader friends on his delivery route, he rides to their settlement and returns with Sarah, the only survivor. Fort Pitt is crowded to twice its capacity with the settlers who have taken refuge there and surrounded by the rising smoke of burned-out settlements. Tempers flare, disease breaks out, and the constant fear of the next attack has everyone on edge. Cully keeps an eye on Sarah because he feels responsible for her. And, though he doesn't admit as much, she tugs at his heart. Sarah sees Cully as the last link to her past. A friend of her husband's family. She's going to need someone she can trust, and she trusts Cully. Her rescuer. Are trust and admiration enough to help them survive the siege and its devastating consequences? Is there any hope for a future beyond?
