Thirty Nights West

Nadia Fenwick has thirty nights to close the Westward Night without stranding its passengers or abandoning its crew. Adrian Sayer has the same thirty nights to prove that the people who run the train can save a smaller version of it themselves.

She believes hard choices become kinder when someone competent makes them early. He believes compromise is only surrender in cleaner clothes. Forced to share the final runs between Portland and Boise, they discover an unexpected life after midnight-bad platform coffee, ridiculous souvenirs, and an attraction neither can keep inside the rules of the job.

But as the train's future narrows to one lender, one usable set of cars, and decisions that could cost dozens of people their livelihoods, Nadia and Adrian each conceal a choice they had no right to make alone.

Saving the route may cost them the careers they built. Choosing each other will require something harder than desire: telling the truth before they know how it ends.

Thirty Nights West is an emotionally mature contemporary romance about two capable people, one vanishing night train, and the difference between protecting someone and trusting them with a choice.
