The Courier She Trusted

Forty crossings without a loss. On the forty-first, Wrenna Amado is stopped at gunpoint and told she is a thief. Her manifest is forged. A town two hundred miles north has been paying for medicines she never delivered. Wrenna has never stolen anything in her life — but someone using her name, her routes, and her number has been doing it for a year. The man holding the rifle is Elias Cordell, a former schoolteacher turned route marshal, and he has been chasing the same discrepancy across three seasons. He wants a partner on the investigation, not a fight. What they find at the end of the route is not a stranger. It is family. And the choice Wrenna has to make will decide whether the corridor keeps working — and whether she can look Elias in the eye on the way home. A grounded, road-worn post-apocalyptic survival romance for readers who like their love stories delivered with the mail.
