Sudden Love On The Wagon Train
Having experienced firsthand what it’s like to be ostracized, all Esme wants is to find a place where she fits in—until she discovers that where she truly belongs is with another outcast.
With his mixed blood, Tarak has spent years trying to distance himself from the culture he abandoned, only to have a white woman reintroduce him to the things he loved about his heritage.
When Esme and her mother separated after fleeing their Salem apothecary on suspicion of witchcraft, she is determined to get to California, the last place her family was whole. There, she can live a quiet, comfortable life and give up her dreams of being an herbalist—if only she could join the wagon train as a single woman.
After leaving his tribe, Tarak has spent years as a nomad, but he’s finally ready to settle in California and capitalize on the gold rush. He’ll have a tough time getting the folks on the wagon train to welcome him into their group… unless he can find a similarly desperate white woman to pretend to be his wife.
The plan gets them a spot in the wagon train, but it’s clear the other travelers are uncomfortable with their presence even as Tarak and Esme grow closer.
Tensions escalate until the pair are forced to strike out on their own, but when they find out the other travelers are in danger, they’ll need to risk the group’s judgment if they want to save them.
And when they learn how a single tragedy links their pasts, can their love see them to their final destination?
If you like fast-paced clean romance and action-packed stories, you won't be able to put down this addictive Novel by Evelyn Boyett.

A wonderful story that contains characters that are so heartwarming. The storyline keeps your attention and also has some twists and turns that were unexpected.

acceptance in a time of disparities
To have struggles because you are not accepted into the town you live in or because of your heritage. But what becomes of Tarak and Esme. Just start reading the journey of their struggles and how they worked together to overcome so many trials. Worth the time.

Worth The Fight
This story is so beautiful in the messages it's giving. It's a lesson we have yet to learn. Everyone should be accepted or rejected based upon their characters not the color of their skin or religious beliefs.

This is one saga that will get you thinking . The bravery of the two never ceases to amaze me, dangerous times back then. But man's nature hasn't changed makes you wonder if we'll ever make it.

Living in a country where there has been interracial marriages for a couple of hundred years it was nice to find and read a book where this triumphed. Well written with insight and a read I would recommend.

Great read!
I loved this story from beginning to end, it keeps your interest throughout. Putting together two people who are suffering persecution from very different circumstances.

great story
It’s a shame that people cannot accept other people who are a different race or differs beliefs, even different customs. We were all made by God.
