Hearts Afire (Heartstrong Pioneer Brides #3)
Anna May Ashworth
Jeb knows an old cowpuncher like himself is not good husband material, but he would never abandon a woman in distress. When his plan to offer an elderly, dying widow a home backfires, he does the gentlemanly thing and marries her doe-eyed daughter who is wasting away from grief and shame. Now, he fears the girl’s gratitude has led her to want more than a marriage of convenience. Worse, his foolish heart is starting to give in.
Willa has always known the shame of being poor and uneducated, but the things she has done since her mama died would make even the angels turn their backs. She had all but given up when a handsome cowboy stepped in to save her. And though she vows to repay him by being the best wife a man could want, deep down, she knows she’s not worthy of love, least of all, by a good man like Jeb.
Hearts and heartache collide when Willa learns Jeb has no intention of being a real husband to her. She might have accepted that her dark past had robbed her of a chance at love, but she won’t stand for his foolish talk of not being good enough. Now, both their hearts are on the line as Willa fights for both love and self-acceptance.
How do learn to love yourself when the world has already passed judgement? How do you convince the person you love that they are worth loving? Where do you find the courage to take the gift of a second chance?
Hearts Afire is the clean but ardent tale of a mouse of a girl who learns to roar, and the gentle, lovable cowboy transformed by the flames of her love. Get your copy now and share the adventure of finding a safe haven and an unconditional love.
