Elizabeth Barrett was already en route. With no time to spare Sophie Green, shopkeeper turned match-maker, will do her best even though the educated, well-to-do socialite probably won’t stay forever.
Joseph Carmichael doesn’t need forever. He just needs to get by. A man who can’t plant or harvest will lose his farm and with three boys under the age of five he can’t do much of anything.
Elizabeth is on the way, Joe’s children are cared for, and when she tires of the rougher life, she goes back east. Everyone wins.
But Elizabeth can never go back. There is nothing she would wish more. The thought never left her and surely never would. It was a part of her more than her physical body. She could sooner cut off her arm than cut the regret from her heart. But the innocent must not suffer for her mistake.
Miss Green,
My name is Elizabeth Barrett. I saw your ad and am on my way to you. I am posting this letter just prior to my departure. This is my only hope and I pray that you will not turn me away…

The Blackstone Bride
When widowed rancher Johnathon Blackstone places an advertisement for a mail-order bride, he's thinking only of his five-year-old daughter Isabelle, who desperately needs a mother's touch. What he doesn't expect is a response from Lilly Spellman-a woman brave enough to tell him the truth about her scandalous condition. Abandoned by a soldier and facing her family's shame, Lilly sees Johnathon's honest proposal as her only chance for respectability and a future for her unborn child. Their marriage of convenience in the frontier town of Silverpoint begins as a practical arrangement, but as Lilly wins over little Isabelle's heart and brings warmth back to the Blackstone home, something deeper begins to bloom between the unlikely couple. But when the scheming Cassidy Throne sets her sights on Johnathon and brings Lilly's past crashing back into their lives, their fragile new family faces its greatest test. In a town where reputation means everything, will love be enough to overcome scandal and secure their chance at happiness? Set against the rugged beauty of the 1880s American frontier, The Blackstone Bride is a heartwarming tale of second chances, found family, and the courage to love again.Concluida

Had David been telling the truth at the club that night or had he just lied to get into her pants?Concluida
