A Pony Express boy on a daring mission of the heart... Clay Winslow is a Pony Express rider on a mail run beyond his usual route. When he delivers a stack of lost letters to their original sender from Sacramento to Carson City, Clay never expects to lose his heart along the way. She's a Western socialite... Abigail Sterling began a pen pal relationship with a gold miner looking for a mail-order bride. She fell in love until disaster strikes. Before telling her parents of her plans to run away to California, a letter arrives via the Pony Express. Her long-distance groom died weeks earlier, and the deliverer of bad news shows up on her doorstep, oddly in love with her. Can the written word begin a relationship even when meant for someone else's heart? Or are Clay and Abigail merely reading what their heart desires?
