Flight of a Wild Heart: Hearts of Roaring Fork Valley, #1

By Sara Blackard

In the expansive and raw beauty of the Roaring Fork Valley, destiny weaves together the lives of two souls, each seeking something just out of reach.

 

Robert Sweeney, carrying the shadows of a dark family history, has painstakingly built a sanctuary, eager to find solace in the cabin he meticulously crafted. Yet, the specters of his past and the weight of regret challenge his dreams of a peaceful existence.

 

Sparrow, upon returning to ancestral grounds, is met with a stark revelation: her tribe, her family, vanished, replaced by unfamiliar settlers. The encroaching chill of winter heightens her desperation, making every passing day a race against time.

 

When fate throws Robert and Sparrow onto a path marred by danger and deception, they embark on a perilous journey across the Coloradan mountains. Amidst the challenges of the wild, a bond forms, fragile yet fierce.

 

Set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and untamed nature, this historical western romance chronicles their quest for belonging, redemption, and a love that defies all odds.
