Book description
When Susannah McKittrick leaves Nantucket for the boomtown of Seattle,
she is hardly looking to strike it rich; she is headed west to care for
a newborn left motherless after Susannah's cousin died. Although the
rigorous trip depletes all of her savings, Susannah is certain she is
doing the right thing. She is less sure when she meets the infant's
father, wealthy businessman Aubrey Fairgrieve -- who seems embittered
toward love and marriage, and indifferent toward the precious baby
Susannah is so eager to care for.
Gradually, Susannah discovers that Aubrey's marriage to her cousin
was far from perfect -- and she comes to see the brusque but handsome
man in a new light. But when Aubrey makes her a most practical offer,
it is a far cry from the heartfelt proposal Susannah desires. If he
truly wants to win her hand, he will have to learn to trust once more
-- and sweep her away with the bold passion of a man in love.
Linda Lael Miller is the author of seventy
historical and contemporary romance novels, many of which are set in
the American West. She was awarded the Romance Writers of America's
