About this ebook

When sparks begin to fly, can a friendship cast in iron be shaped into something more?

Mariah Stover is left for dead and with no memory when the Deadeye Gang robs the stagecoach she's riding in, killing both her father and brother. As she takes over her father's blacksmith shop and tries to move forward, she soon finds herself in jeopardy and wondering--does someone know she witnessed the robbery and is still alive?

Handsome and polished Clint Roberts escaped to western Wyoming, leaving his painful memories behind. Hoping for a fresh start, he opens a diner where he creates fine dishes, but is met with harsh resistance from the townsfolk, who prefer to stick to their old ways.

Clint and Mariah are drawn together by the trials they face in town, and Clint is determined to protect Mariah at all costs when danger descends upon her home. As threats pursue them from every side, will they survive to build a life forged in love?

Ratings and reviews

Danger. Romance. Rescues. All the things I love in a western romance— and this book had it all and so much more! I really must ask myself why I haven’t picked up a Mary Connealy book in recent memory. I have been missing out! And it has some of my favorite storytelling styles of all time: a marriage of convenience, a hero who falls in love first, a good mystery, and some suspense added with parts written from the villain’s point of view. All ingredients for an excellent western romance!

This is book one in the Wyoming Sunrise series, so what a great place to start. I love the writing style of Mary Connealy. Her books are always full of laughter, sparks, history, romance and so much more. Mariah Stover is forced to grieve, remember and try to stay alive all while trusting her friend Clint Roberts. With a female blacksmith and a male cook things are already unique in this Wyoming town. This book is full of friendship, mystery, romance and more. I look forward to reading more in t

In 1870 Wyoming, God is an essential part of the characters' lives. I loved the details about the heroine Mariah who is a blacksmith. My parents were blacksmiths, so I know that it is a hard job. I liked the hero Clint having his own homestead, yet tries to keep a cafe in town going. Providing sustenance and care for everyone in the area. There are good friends and great pets. #ForgedInLove #MaryConnealy #HistoricalFiction #FavoriteBooks #WyomingSunriseSeries
