Book description
When a pretty spitfire who's down on her luck clashes with a stubborn
man in search of a wife, sparks must turn to flames....
A year after the Civil War, courageous former Union nurse Lydia
McQuire was gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she said
yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear. Mr. Devon
Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a
wife. Only after Lydia had arrived in Washington territory did she
learn that her bridegroom wasn't to be sweet Devon Quade, but his
older brother Brigham, a widower with strapping shoulders, hands as
strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of
his lumber empire, the town of Quade's Harbor, and the woman he
married. Lydia's dislike of him was instantaneous...yet Brigham was
awakening in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she
would share his bed, he would have to surrender himself, heart and
soul, to love....
