Mail-Order Bride Merrilee O’Shea’s hopes are shattered
when she arrives at the run-down Eternal Hope Ranch in Texas to marry Reece
Wescott, only to learn that her husband-to-be has died and she was unexpected. She
can’t go back to where she came from--the War between the States took her
husband, and her home, and her brother-in-law has tried to compromise her. She
has no choice but to accept the job as housekeeper for her late husband-to-be’s
brothers, even though one of the brothers, Jared, doesn’t want her there.
Jared considers Merrilee just another mess his brother made that he’ll have to fix and he doesn’t want anything to do with her. He and his remaining brother, Gabriel, are trying to bring the ranch back from the brink of ruin, and he has no time for another responsibility. But as Merrilee settles in, Jared notices that despite all she has lost, she manages to maintain a sweet, sunny disposition. He doesn’t understand it, but he’s drawn to it…and her. He’s determined to resist, because as far as he's concerned, he doesn’t deserve either.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed
(most times) writing it.
Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread
kindness wherever you go!

ReplyDeleteI accidentally deleted the first comment thinking there was a typo I wanted to fix. Turned out it was my exclamation point. DUH!!!
