When she loses her job and is on the verge of eviction from
her home in Indiana, Lucy feels desperate.
In an effort to keep her brother and sister with her, she takes a man up
on his offer to marry his son. The man
has documentation that allows him to act as his agent and the marriage is
accomplished without Lucy setting eyes on her groom. When she arrives in Texas, she encounters a
justifiably upset groom. Rather than
allow her small stature to cower in fear, she is determined to make the
marriage work and be the woman that Nate needs on his ranch.
Nate can’t believe what his father has done to him now. Although he starts out resenting Lucy's presence, Nate quickly comes to see the four of them as a family. He and Lucy get along well enough, and with
danger following Lucy’s family, he has his work cut out for him taking care of
them. When he finds out that the death
of Lucy’s father may not have been an accident, the stakes become higher.
This is another great read from this author. I've always been able to pick up one of
Colleen Coble’s books and not be disappointed.
As usual, this one was great from beginning to end. I couldn't find any evidence of another upcoming book in this series, but book 2 just came out in January and she just had the release of Rosemary Cottage, part of the Hope Beach series, in early July, so I'll keep my eyes out. I'm hoping the third one might be about Fanny, Lucy's cousin who pines away for her lost love, but I can't remember if she's mentioned in book 2. Good Book!
