The Heart's Charge (Hanger's Horsemen #2) by Karen Witemeyer

 



I love this series.  After the Civil War a group of soldiers that fought together organized their own group, Hanger's Horsemen," to help people that needed it in the rowdy land in Texas that they decided to settle in.  Two of the horsemen are traveling back to their "headquarters" when they come across a grieving widow who is giving birth all alone in a line shack.  Mark, one of the two, delivers the baby but the woman refuses to keep it.  Knowing the baby needs care and not knowing what to do with it, he takes it with him and they seek out a foundling home nearby.  When he takes the baby there, the woman who answers the door is the girl that refused to marry him before the war back East.  They are both shocked to see each other.  Mark and his partner get involved with helping the two ladies running the foundling home with all the things that need fixing there.  There is a lot of suspense involved and it's just overall a very interesting story.  The orphans at the home and the homeless kids roaming the area are all in need of love and these ladies are dedicated to trying to help them.  But kids are coming up missing and so Hanger's Horsemen take on the case and start looking for the outlaws that are stealing kids.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.  All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
