Into the Hills (ePub)

In the Fall of 1857, Katherine Vanderbilt, a spoiled, high-class girl, returns from boarding school to spend time on her father's estate. Upon her immediate return, her father informs her that she will not be returning to boarding school, instead, she will be marrying his apprentice, William. Appalled by her father's actions, Katherine mounts her trusty horse and rides off to the solitude of her favorite pond. Her tranquility, however, is dashed when a group of mountain men barge onto her father's property and kidnap her.
Isaac McLean can't understand why he let his men talk him into taking the poor, defenseless girl, but he can't seem to make himself let her go either. Their jobs, the very reason why they were even on the Vanderbilt property, could get them a one-way ticket to the gallows. But as he begins to spend more time with her, Isaac can feel his hardened edges begin to soften around the copper-haired beauty.
William Parson is on the hunt for his betrothed, stolen away before he could even lay eyes on her. Though he has no interest in marrying, her father's money and the girl's inheritance are enough to make him exchange vows.
Along the journey, Katherine's faith is tested as she becomes more aware of her place in this world and what her purpose truly is as she is thrown in a world of profuse hatred and unbelievable love.
Will Katherine ever find her way home again?
