Beschrijving uitgever
In Scarlett Dunn’s heartfelt inspirational series, three sisters return home to beautiful, enigmatic Whispering Pines, Colorado, and discover the men who’ll claim their love . . .
As a young girl, Rose Langtry feared her gruff, handsome rancher neighbor. Coming back to Colorado after five years, she’s outraged to find Morgan LeMasters ready to hang her brother for rustling and theft. But when the resulting skirmish leaves her injured, Morgan’s tender care turns her unease to unexpected closeness . . . and admiration.
Stopping Frankie Langtry and his gang has long been Morgan’s priority, yet he can’t resist Rose’s pleas for mercy. As brave and spirited as she is soft-hearted, Rose needs support to keep her family farm from going under, and a marriage of convenience will provide it. Morgan hardly dares admit, even to himself, his longing for a deeper, truer union. But her brother’s grudge is bringing danger back to Whispering Pines, and it’ll take forgiveness, courage—and a bond built on faith—to create a family and a future together . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dunn transports readers to a small town in the post Civil War Colorado Territories to tell a love story that transcends the desire for vengeance. Morgan LeMasters has finally caught up with the bandits who have been rustling his cattle, but he's stopped from hanging the men by Rose Langtry, the sister of one of the thieves. She's horrified that LeMasters is about to hang her brother, Frankie, with no real proof to back up the claim that he was stealing cattle. He agrees to let the boy live, but insists Frankie is guilty and promises to bring him to trial. This moment of reflection begins a journey that allows attraction to bloom in unexpected ways. Initially, Morgan wants to look after Rose, to make sure she safely gets back to Whispering Pines before finding out just how far her brother has fallen. But Rose, convinced of Frankie's innocence, is determined to see him get a fair trial. As Rose begins to spend more time with Morgan and her grandmother, she begins to realize she may not have known her brother at all. As the attraction between Morgan and Rose deepens, so does the reflection on vengeance and forgiveness. Fans of both ethical dramas and historical romances will find much to enjoy.
