Dangerous Heart by Tracey Bateman

From the Back Cover:

For the past seven years, Ginger Freeman has had one goal: find Grant Kelley 
and make him pay for allowing her brother to die. Growing up motherless with a 
father who leads an outlaw gang, Ginger isn't exactly peaches and cream. So 
when she finally tracks down Grant on a wagon train headed west, she figured 
providence had stepped in and given her the chance she's been waiting for. On 
the wagon train, finally surrounded by a sense of family and under the 
nurturing eye of Toni Rodde, Ginger begins to lose her rough edges. She's made 
friends for the first time and has become part of something bigger than 
revenge. Not only has her heart softened toward people in general, but God has 
become a reality she never understood before. And watching Grant doctor the 
pioneers, she's realized she can't just kill him and leave the train without 
medical care. Putting her anger aside, before long, Ginger's a functioning part 
of the group.But when the outlaw gang, headed by her pa, shows up and 
infiltrates the wagon train, she is forced to question her decision. Only 
self-sacrifice and her new relationship with God can make things right. But it 
might also means she loses everything she's begun to hold dear.

My Review:

This is book #3 in a series called Westward Hearts Series.

The book is about a gal (Ginger) who joins up with a wagon train headed west in 
order to give the doc (Grant) his just due - for letting her brother die when 
she was a little girl during a stage coach robbery.

During this time that Ginger has been with the wagon train, she has been living 
amongst many Christians and a new mind set begins to take hold. Her revenge on 
Grant is not as strong as it once was and she becomes torn between her old life 
and a new way of living.

During the travel west - a band of thieves attack the wagon train. Come to find 
out it was Ginger's pa and his crew. During the attack, Ginger's younger 
brother was hurt and left behind. The wagon train folks end up brining him back 
to camp - he has a head injury and is very ill.

Ginger then is forced to make the decision of going back with her pa and living 
a life among thieves and robbers or to take a stand in what she comes to 
believe in and live a life among good, hard working people and with God in her 
heart.
