Lacey’s Way – Madeline Baker

Description

Lacey’s Way by Madeline Baker is a historical romance set in the rugged landscapes of the American frontier. The novel follows Lacey Montana, a determined young woman who is left utterly alone after her father is sentenced to twenty years in Yuma Penitentiary. With no other option, Lacey bravely follows the prison wagon across the unforgiving plains, only for the journey to take a harrowing turn when an Apache attack leaves only one prisoner alive—Matt Drago.

Matt, a man of mixed heritage and a murky past, insists he is innocent. Part Apache and part gambler, he is a man shaped by hardship, and Lacey is initially wary of the fire she sees in his eyes. But with her father kidnapped and her fate uncertain, she strikes an uneasy bargain: she will care for Matt’s injuries if he helps her find her father. As the two navigate the dangers of the desert and the threats of the wild frontier, their reluctant alliance grows into a powerful, passionate bond. Lacey’s Way is a stand-alone novel that blends action, romance, and survival in the untamed West.

This book is perfect for readers who enjoy strong heroines, brooding heroes, and slow-burning Western romances filled with grit and heart.
