Publisher Description
Avoiding love and entanglements has been easy for Hank Barringer since losing his wife and young son to influenza. An outrider on the wagon train, his only job is to keep the mail order brides and passengers safe until they reach their destination. Then he meets Eliza Tanner. She’s different than other women. Seemingly fearless—her feisty manner disrupts his well-ordered idea of how a woman should behave. He doesn’t approve, so why can’t he stop thinking about her?
Eliza has secrets and a past that could destroy any chance she has of building a new life. When an opportunity arises to join a wagon train full of mail-order brides headed to Oregon City, she flees from her old life. Little does she know that danger from her past stalks her, or that a killer’s obsession will be strong enough to follow her to the other side of the country.
When Eliza’s past catches up with her, she’ll need a real hero…a man who can accept the truth, and love her despite the circumstances of her past.

Eliza
Brides of the Oregon Trail book 4
by Cynthia Woolf
Life for a prostitute isn’t easy especially when it’s forced on you. Eliza was sold by her father the person who’s supposed to cherish and protect you. Sold from one man then to another, her trust in humanity gone. Finally after saving every penny she bought her freedom. Joining a wagon train with mail order brides, Eliza sets for a new beginning, a new life where her nightmarish past will be left behind the wagon trails dust. Eliza has been given a gift, the gift of motherhood in the little baby she finds. The trail is full of adventure for Eliza especially when her feelings for Hank become more than friendship. But she never thought the nightmare she left behind would follow her with a vengeance!
I absolutely loved this! Cynthia Woolf did an outstanding job in portraying the turbulent lives of women in the 1800s. Plenty of intrigue, emotional turmoil, likeable characters a heroine that deserved a happy life. A wonderful well deserved ending!
Great addition
Wow. Eliza is an awesome addition to the Mail-Order Brides stories. This book shows the westward wagon train from two different perspectives, Eliza and her new best friend Millicent. The two girls could not be more different though they were both running from their pasts. The courage displayed by our ancestors, trying to carve a new life for themselves in the west was amazing. They both meet their perfect match and after some issues are resolved become glad that they did. A great read.
