They Left the Plus-Size Boardinghouse Keeper in the Flood—The Cowboy Threw His Trunk Off the Wagon

When the Cottonwood River swallowed Belle Crossing, boardinghouse keeper Nora Whitcomb made sure every guest reached the evacuation wagon before she did. Her reward was to be told that her full figure made the wagon too heavy—even while her brother kept his whiskey and cashbox aboard. Then cowboy Clay Mercer threw his own trunk into the flood and stepped down into the water. Nora soon discovers that the trunk held far more than clothes. It carried four years of Clay’s wages, his dead sister’s letters, and his only chance to build a stable home for his young nephew. But Clay’s sacrifice does not make Nora helpless or indebted. When a second flood crest threatens the town, her boardinghouse skills, courage and knowledge become the reason anyone survives. This is a long-form historical Western romance about being seen after a lifetime of being overlooked, protection that respects a woman’s strength, chosen family, and love offered without a claim.
