The Runaway Brides series by Kaki Warner is set in Heartbreak Creek, a small mining town in the Colorado mountains during the late 1800s. The series follows women who arrive in town under various circumstances, each running from something in her past. Heartbreak Creek (2011), Colorado Dawn (2012), and Bride of the High Country (2012) each feature a different heroine and her romance with a local man.
The Heartbreak Creek setting became popular enough that Warner wrote a follow-up series, Heroes of Heartbreak Creek, set in the same town. The Runaway Brides books combine the appeal of fresh-start stories with detailed historical settings and well-developed romantic relationships.
