Looking for a book I read. I cant remember the titolo o the autore name. I've been looking for ages

I keep getting the words: wild, heart, journey (maybe dream?) in relation to the titolo but not sure.
The story is old west romance about a woman who is traveling to meet a crippled friend who she agreed to marry and his best friend picks her up along the way for him. It takes a while to get to the house of her betrothed and along the way, the best friend and the woman fall in Amore but they dont act on it and the guy is very honourable and gets her to his friend. (I think they are attacked on the way as well). cant remember much after that except her fiance got crippled da having his legs crushed and they're all scarred. If anyone can help, i'd appreciate it. I think there were trains and definitely cowboys. (hero's name might have been matt o quinn, cant be sure though, i've read too many books).
I read it around the anno 2000 i think but i borrowed it from a biblioteca so it wasn't new.
And i think (not sure) the book cover image was a woman with a hooded cloak. old west town background maybe.
