The Midwife’s Vow
A Western Romance by Mae Everly

In the rugged Arizona Territory, Ruth Talbot arrives in the frontier town of Red Rock Crossing with nothing but a battered satchel and a past she dares not reveal. Hiding from scandal and heartbreak, she vows to rebuild her life as a midwife, offering care to the women of the West in a place desperate for healing.

But suspicion runs deep in Red Rock Crossing, and not everyone welcomes a woman cloaked in black with open arms. As tensions boil over between rival ranchers and shadows from Ruth’s past begin to stir, she finds an unexpected ally in Sheriff Boone Caldwell—a quiet, principled man with his own buried regrets.

When violence erupts and a life hangs in the balance, Ruth must summon all her strength and skill to protect those she serves. And as Boone stands beside her through fire, loss, and whispered gossip, she discovers that trust—and even love—might not be beyond reach.

But secrets have a way of coming to light. And when a figure from her past threatens everything she’s built, Ruth must decide what she's willing to risk to claim the life—and love—she never thought she deserved.

Tender, gripping, and filled with resilience, The Midwife’s Vow is a sweeping Western romance about second chances, the power of community, and a love worth fighting for.
