Drew, a lovelorn accountant with elevatophobia, accidentally discovers a mysterious voice named Elle in the office lift. Is it his fevered imagination, the ghost of his dead fiancée, or a secret admirer? And can he find out before it drives him crazy?

When Drew discovers the adorable girl behind the voice, a relationship blossoms alongside a shared determination to bring justice to their workplace, risking everything.
Yet, they can’t possibly risk meeting in person… can they?
And if they do, will their daring plan succeed or will it jeopardize the happiness they’ve found with each other?

Arizona, 1878. When longtime widower Earl finds an injured deaf youth on the prairie, he reluctantly decides to help the boy as compensation for not being there to save his own wife and baby from a Mojave raiding party years earlier.
He lodges the youngster, “Bill”, with a local widow, Laura, whose daughter is deaf. Soon, sign language and shared loss deepen their friendship and begin his healing. Together, they stand firm against the town’s prejudices, led by the boorish Mayor Potter.
But just when Earl believes his life has turned a corner, and he is ready to embrace love for this new woman, he learns the truth about his lost family. As his dark past threatens to return, Earl must face his guilt and prejudice or risk losing everything again.
Can Earl overcome his past failings and face down danger? Will Laura’s kindness and faith be repaid?
Can the boy’s mistakes be fixed? Will love prevail?
“This is not only a gritty Western, it’s a love story. It has everything you could want in a brilliant read and more. It was a book I devoured in two sittings as it took me to another time and place. A book that will surely bring the love of Westerns to a new audience.”
