A Love as Unyielding as the Iron Rails in "Bridging the West"
The untamed frontier was no place for hesitation, and Cora Hastings knew that better than anyone. As an engineer in a world that refused to see her as one, she spent her life proving herself behind the drafting table—until the day she was given the chance to lead a project no one believed she could complete. Tasked with designing a railroad bridge through the treacherous Rocky Mountains, she faces sabotage, brutal conditions, and a workforce unwilling to take orders from a woman. With everything stacked against her, failure is not an option, and the only way forward is to stand her ground, no matter the cost.
Jonah Rourke never expected to be caught up in another man’s war, but his past had a way of pulling him back in. Hired as a guide to help Cora navigate the land, he sees the bridge as just another job—until the fight becomes personal. As threats mount and secrets surface, his growing respect for Cora shifts into something more, something he isn’t sure he’s willing to name. But out in the wilderness, where loyalty is tested and every decision can mean life or death, the risk of letting someone in might be greater than the dangers they face.
Through relentless hardships and hard-won triumphs, the bridge rises piece by piece, a testament to perseverance and ambition. But as winter fades and the final test looms, Cora and Jonah must decide what truly matters—victory, survival, or the unexpected love neither of them planned for. In a world where progress is measured in steel and sacrifice, they must fight for the future they want, even if it means walking an uncharted path together.
"Bridging the West" is now available, bringing readers a sweeping story of grit, determination, and romance set against the unforgiving beauty of the American frontier. If you love strong-willed heroines, reluctant allies turned lovers, and the rugged challenges of the Old West, this is a journey you won’t want to miss.
