About this ebook

With this enchanting tale, Linda Lael Miller begins a delightful series centered around a bustling Montana stagecoach stop. For one young widow, Springwater Station is the place where dreams are waiting to come true—and love is about to bloom.

Evangeline Keating came west because she had to: after her husband’s passing, she needed to build a new life for her young daughter, and marrying a stranger from Montana Territory was her best chance. After a difficult winter journey, she arrives at an isolated outpost called Springwater Station. But the handsome man who’s come for her is not her husband-to-be, and Evangeline soon finds herself thrust into a most inconvenient—and highly improper—arrangement.

Scully Wainwright never intended to be left alone with his ranching partner’s fiancée. But his partner’s not due back until spring, and he can’t leave a defenseless woman and her child unguarded—not with wolves and Indians threatening. Biding his time with the lovely Evangeline begins to feel dangerously close to setting up a real home. But as a reckless passion sparks between them, Scully and Evangeline discover a destiny—and a passion—as boundless as the open frontier.

    Linda Lael Miller writes some of the best Western historical and contemporary books, and this is no exception. In a slow-burn romance, Evangeline and her young daughter Abigail come west to wed Big John Keating, but he's gone south on a cattle drive, leaving his partner Scully to meet them and take care of them for the winter. You know Eve and Scully are going to end up together, but they are honorable people, and Scully is determined to leave as soon as Big John returns.There are all sorts of adventures in a Montana winter, with storms, wolves, and Indians threatening the ranch. Both Eve and Scully are nuanced characters, and Abigail is adorable without being the precocious brat that you sometimes find in romance stories. It's an enjoyable read, one of Ms. Miller's older books that was just republished and I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out.

    Evangeline Keating is a widow with a young daughter traveling west from her home in Pennsylvania. Her husband's cousin has offered to marry her and raise her child. Since she has no other options that she is willing to accept she is on her way. When she gets there right in front of the first winter storm to hit the area, it is her fiancé's partner rather than her fiancé that meets her in town. Her fiancé has left the area to pick up their cattle and will be gone until the spring. She is very disappointed, but the partner has offered to tend to Evangeline nd her daughter until his partner arrives. Much can happen during the long winter months...and it does. I loved the characters and the story line is fun, active and, romantic. Another good read by Ms. Miller.
