A Life to Gain

Some men go west to find gold. Some go to find the people they love. And some discover that what they're really searching for has been inside them all along.

Bounty hunter Sawyer McCoy didn't plan on riding to Deadwood. But when his youngest brother Cody goes silent for nearly a year after chasing gold in the Black Hills, Sawyer has no choice. He's going to find him — one way or another.

Scarlet Windsor is also headed to Deadwood, and she's out of time. Her abusive husband has vanished with her young son, and she will do whatever it takes to get him back. When a hotel fire throws Scarlet and Sawyer together, an unlikely alliance is born — two determined people who need each other more than either wants to admit.

Back in Millcreek, Lilly Myles has spent years quietly loving Cody McCoy. When her broken heart sends her toward Kansas City, a stagecoach robbery sets off a chain of events that lands her on the road to Deadwood as well. But the reunion she dreamed of isn't waiting for her there. Cody has changed. The mining town has swallowed him whole. And Lilly must face the hardest kind of faith — trusting God not just with her own future, but with the future of someone she loves.

Three journeys. One destination. And a reckoning none of them saw coming.

A Life to Gain is the third book in the Millcreek Series — a sweeping historical fiction saga set in the late nineteenth century, rich with adventure, romance, and the enduring power of faith.
