About this ebook

She didn't trust any man. He didn't trust himself.

The death of Sarah Greer's husband granted her two things—freedom from his abuse and his large estate.  In hopes of freeing her younger brother from their controlling grandfather, the pair travels to the new mining town of Central City, only Sarah finds herself caught up in scheme that forces her to marry again.

The last thing widower Mac MacPherson wants is a marriage of convenience. Haunted by the past, the only reason he left his family's Colorado ranch is to hunt down the last man to see his wife alive. But when he finds himself hitched to Sarah, he can't ignore the woman who gets under his skin—or the sparks that fly when they're together. 

Can Sarah and Mac put the past behind them and find a future together?

Author

Mischelle Creager

Mischelle Creager writes inspirational historical romances set in the mid-1800s. She’s not sure which she loves more—researching or writing. When she’s not doing one of those two things, she can probably be found reading or baking. She is a wife whose wonderful husband told her, when he retired several years ago, that he wanted to support her in her writing and took over all the household chores, including sweeping, dusting, and laundry.  He even cleans up for her after she bakes! Her son and daughter are always available to help with social media questions. Mischelle loves to share her historical research and has a website, Under The Attic Eaves, filled with tidbits she’s found in books written in the 19th Century. She also “reprints” a historical magazine, Worbly’s Family Monthly Magazine, filled with items from books and magazines published in the middle of the 1800s. You can visit these two sites at http://undertheatticeaves.com/ and http://worblysmagazine.com  . If you would like to know more about Mischelle and her family, please visit her blog, Families Across the Generations at http://familiesacrossthegenerations.blogspot.com/ or my website at http://mischellecreager.com.

    Having trouble forgiving someone? This book helps remove that barrier.

    Now I'm officially diabetic. I've read Christian romances before but this one takes it to an all new level of sugary relations and religion.
