Unknown Angel: Mail-order Bride Western Mystery

Colt Taylor, a dedicated U.S. marshal, was in the area visiting his recently widowed Aunt Ellie when he received word of a stagecoach holdup. On the bandit’s trail, he came across a severely injured, unconscious young woman whom he stopped to aid. Taking her to his aunt’s house to recuperate from her injuries and amnesia, he set out to find out the mystery behind her, while pursuing those who did this to her. Naming her ‘Angel’ because of her very blonde hair and light blue eyes, he became captivated with her, despite withholding any emotions due to being spurned in his younger past by another. However, as she gradually regained her memory, she realized that one of the bandits was closer to home than realized, endangering her. Upon confronting her, despite being smitten with her rescuer, Angel knew she had to flee for her own safety. Would she ever resolve who she was and feel safe again to seek out trustworthy reciprocal love? Until then, she knew that she would always be on the run.
