Maggie's Story — Patricia PacJac Carroll

Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald is not going to wind up like a dried up old spinster. She agrees to an ad for a mail order bride and leaves for Thornton, Texas.
Tom Logan doesn't ever want to get married. Never. He wants to keep his freedom. And then there are the haunting images of the Indian raid and his mother's lifeless body. He's not about to love a woman and risk losing her in such a way.
