When two boys who arrive in Missouri on the famed Orphan Train are left behind at the station, bake shop owner Amy Montgomery vows to make a home for them. She wants the boys to have a family for Christmas—but first she must convince former Pinkerton agent John Oliver to marry her.

John Oliver only left the Adirondack town of Hearthstone, NY for Missouri to make sure Amy stayed safe as she began her new life in a new town. He has no intention of becoming part of a makeshift family. When he realizes the orphaned boys could be in danger, he decides helping Amy may be the only way to save them.

Will they become the family she has prayed for in time for Amy to get her Christmas wish?

Hearts of the West is a collection of novellas that can be read in any order. From the mountains of Wyoming to the California desert. And from the plains of Missouri to Montana's rustic settings, readers will be swept into heartwarming tales of faith and romance.

We welcome author 

Izzy James 

with her latest release:

Heart of Liberty

...A Christian Historical Romance and Book #8 in the 

Hearts of the West Collection 


Publisher: Independently Published 

The Heart of Liberty is a Small Town, Grumpy/Sunshine, Christian Romance amidst Homesteaders on the High Prairie of Wyoming Territory

Clayton Woodbridge has a secret that drove him to the wilderness years ago. Dark images of the past plague his waking hours. Clay knows the Lord has forgiven his past, but that doesn’t mean that the past is forgotten or even healed.

Ousted by her landlords who wanted their building for their recently graduated son, Alice Russel, MD moved home with her parents. Filled with the optimism of a long line of pioneers, Alice couldn’t resist the opportunity when the growing town of Liberty was looking to exchange a homestead for her medical services. After accepting the job, Alice packs up the twins she inherited at her brother’s death and moves to Wyoming Territory.

Clay cannot believe that such kindness and generosity of heart could exist in one person. His father and his best friend both believe that God has sent him a blessing in the friendship of such a woman. Clay knows he isn’t worthy of such a gift.

Alice doesn’t know what to make of the surly man who comes to her aide time and time again.

Can Clay and Alice form a bond strong enough to hold when secrets come out of the dark?
