She Was Traded for a Mule—Until the Wild Mountain Man Said, “I’ll Pay Her Debt” Scarlett Higgins never imagined her own husband would value her life less than a worn-out mule.

But freedom is only the beginning. As Scarlett and Louis build a new life deep in the Wyoming wilderness, a hidden inheritance, ruthless bounty hunters, and the man who betrayed her threaten to destroy everything they have found together. In the untamed mountains, they must fight not only for survival—but for a love worth risking everything to protect.
