Grace Livingston Hill 
A Voice in the Wilderness [EPUB ebook] 

Beautiful Margaret Earle, who is in route to Arizona to teach school, finds herself unexpectedly disoriented in the woods. Margaret thinks aid has finally arrived when a tattered guy comes across her in the middle of the night, but he proves to be much more dangerous than the wilderness, so she flees from him in desperation. Margaret worries how she will live as she finds herself lost once more, under attack from the weather, and afraid of the howling of wild animals. A dashing young cowboy named Lance Gardley appears to save Margaret's life. As a result of his intervention, the two of them come to a deeper knowledge of true friendship and love.
