Description
Henrietta O'Malley has turned eighteen. It's time for her to leave her home at the orphanage, the only home she'd really ever known. She didn't remember much from the trip from Ireland that took the lives of her parents and her older brother. Only her grandma Lila had survived but was injured severely and was unable to care for the little girl. Henrietta is nervous to leave home. What will she do without the stability of her mentor and guide, Mrs. Saunders? Henri knows she has to leave and follows in the footsteps of her two friends, Annabelle and Delfinia, who traveled to their sister town of Deepwater, Texas to find work and husbands. She prays for the best but fears the worst, as she is a shy, withdrawn type of young woman. Will she ever find a man who can draw out the woman inside? Deputy Randall Peters is son of the sheriff in Deepwater but he tries not to be too haughty about it. He is a tall, handsome man with a quick with and a keen sense of humor. Though he's never had a problem with attracting women, he has found difficulty finding a woman who draws his interest. This changes when the beautiful Irish woman comes to town. He is immediately intrigued and works his magic from day one. Unfortunately, another young woman has had her eyes set on Randy for years. And she isn't prepared to let him find a love of his own. How far will Marybeth go to take revenge on the newcomer everyone in town has fallen in love with overnight?
