Charlotte's Cameo

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Charlotte Whitaker trusts numbers, records, and facts—never charming strangers with too many secrets. But when a polished traveler calling himself Josiah Hale joins her wagon company on the Platte River Trail, Charlotte quickly realizes his story doesn't add up. His hands know warehouses better than plows, his past follows close behind, and the mysterious way he reacts to her mother's cameo suggests he may know more about her world than he admits.

Joseph Hartwell is running from a powerful father, a dangerous accusation, and a man determined to drag him back to St. Louis. Charlotte's sharp mind may be the only thing standing between him and ruin, but trusting Joseph means risking her family, her heart, and the carefully ordered life she's built on certainty.

As the Clover Creek Camp wagons push west through flooded crossings, suspicion, scandal, and danger, Charlotte must decide whether love can be counted among the facts—or whether some truths are only proven by faith.
