Because of a secret not hers to tell, spinster Rachel must marry quickly, and Angus is the first man who comes to mind. He's a hard worker and strong. She's seen him eyeing her and senses hunger in his gaze. Rachel goes to Angus, the local blacksmith, alone at night and asks him to marry her. Although eager to accept her brazen offer, Angus is suspicious, thinking it's some kind of prank and she's been put up to this to embarrass him. After all, what would a lady like Rachel want with the likes of him? His work is hot and dirty, and his lineage doesn't exactly have the pedigree ladies look for. When he realizes she's sincere, his heart won't let him refuse her, but even the road to a quick, convenient marriage isn't smooth. Angus keeps his feelings for Rachel hidden. After the ceremony, Rachel finds a distance she can't bridge…until tragedy strikes.- - - - -Visit the author at CarolBurnside's websiteLike her Amazon pg: Carol-Burnside/e/B004WAHAZWLike her page on Facebook: AuthorCarolBurnsideFollow her on Twitter: carol_burnsideGoodreads - carol_burnsidePinterest - carolburnsideOther titles by this author:Sweetwater Springs seriesA Suitable WifeHer Unexpected FamilyHis Small Town PrincessSecond ChancesTropical Heat (all standalone novellas)Sunset Beach SizzleReturn To ParadiseStandalone titles:Fake Fiance For ChristmasNobody's BabyHeart 2 Heart (a short story collection)Home for Christmas (a complimentary short story & sample chapters)Crainesian series (writing as Annie Rayburn):Insight (short story)Phantoms & FantasiesBittersweet ObsessionsCheck Carol/Annie's website for an up-to-date list of titles available, excerpts, and more.Amazon reviews say Carol's books are:Highly captivating! intriguing and a wonderful read Emotional and heartwarming Engaging! and Great reading!Will they ever find the courage to declare their love, or will their stubborn need to protect their hearts prevail?
