Newton — Kit Morgan

Newton Whitman had a hunger for adventure and got more than his fair share after coming to Clear Creek, Oregon with his twin sister Nettie. Now that she was married, what was he to do? Fulfill his dream of exploring, what else? But throw his long lost father (a notorious rake) into the mix and now he's torn. And in a very short time, he not only finds himself torn, but married as well! How did THAT happen? Newton's not quite sure himself. All he knows is he's in love and that he must do whatever it takes to protect his new bride. But how can he protect her from circumstances that might lead him straight to poverty? He'd had enough of that in England. But lack has a way of beating a man down and reminding him of how worthless he can be. Let him fight a man, an Indian, a wild animal, anything but a lack of means to provide for his new wife. But what choice does he have? He's no longer a man alone. Throw in the fact his wife speaks hardly a word of English and now the whole town is involved. Raised by an unusual tribe of Indians, his new bride Arya has a lot to learn. They both do. The question is, will their differences in language and other things let them? Not to mention Newton's pride? Circumstances, a couple of visitors, and a mysterious Scot will decide.
