Sean Donovan — Lori Wick

CHARLOTTE DIDN'T KNOW THAT MEN LIKE SEAN DONOVAN EXISTED...

Feeling betrayed by his father and alienated from the God he once loved, Sean Donovan leaves Santa Rosa as an angry young man. Joining a gang of thieves, he is caught during his first bank robbery and sentenced to hang. But Charlotte Cooper has other ideas. By law, a woman of good standing in the community can save a man from the gallows, but she must marry him to do so. And Charlotte, who owns the livery and needs a blacksmith, is determined to make the most of this opportunity. Humbled by the dramatic rescue and renewed in his commitment to the Lord, Sean's heart goes out to his new bride, a fiercely independent woman whose past has hardened her. His calm ways and concern for her well-being touch Charlotte's very soul. Could the talk around town be true? Is Charlotte falling for her husband?
