Emma and the Outlaw

Raised in an unconventional home by a local madam after being adopted off an orphan train, young Emma Chalmers lives a prim and proper life in Whitneyville. Her orderly world is disrupted when Steve Fairfax, a wounded man recovering from an explosion at a nearby saloon, comes to stay in her home. Despite her initial hesitations, she finds herself drawn to him as he gradually breaks down her defenses. Set in the American West, the novel explores romance and personal transformation.
