Bloom Town: Genesis (#1) [Preorder - 11/24/26]

A preacher’s daughter with a secret and an outlaw living on the run ignite a thrilling sapphic love story that burns through the pages of Ally North’s Bloom Town duology.

June 1852. When Abby Proctor is kidnapped from a train in the middle of the desert halfway to her new life in California, she promises herself she will escape. Abby is leaving Iowa and all its oppressions behind for a reason, and she refuses to be someone’s prisoner again. Especially when that someone is the infamous female outlaw J. T. London—Joey Taylor to her friends—Abby’s brash, brooding, and inconveniently beautiful captor.

As Abby plots her getaway, she stumbles upon a larger conspiracy behind her kidnapping—a complicated revelation considering her growing feelings for Joey, who might not be the ruthless criminal everyone believes her to be.

Then Abby realizes it’s all connected—her kidnapping, the secrets she left behind in Iowa, even her plans in California—and she must decide between returning to a suffocating life of obedience and unhappiness or trusting an enigmatic outlaw bound for the gallows.
