He’s the brash and arrogant banker, Blaine Harkness and has forced her to live in the town of Thornward as his wife. Thornward is a true Wild West town. Men fight, gamble to earn money, and treat women no better than property. Elizabeth has been imprisoned for ten years for a crime she didn't commit, forced to take the fall for someone else. Before jail she was an orphan, living on the street. But she still has hope. She still has faith in a life full of love, and freedom. FORCED to spend twenty-three hours a day locked up, in terrible conditions, Elizabeth's hope is wearing thin. But hope still remains that one day she will be set free. . . When Blaine Harkness chooses her for his wife, it could be her one chance to get out of jail. To live a free life. But Blaine is an arrogant, possessive man. He forces Elizabeth to stay locked up in his mansion, and she feels no freer than she was before. When Blaine is accused of a crime and forced to face trial, Elizabeth wonders just what kind of man she has been sold to, and whether she will ever be truly free. Elizabeth might just warm up to Blaine, as he starts to open his heart to her, and she realizes there's a reason behind his actions. Can Elizabeth survive being locked up in the mansion, with only Blaine, and the maids for company? What will happen when Blaine discovers that the woman he bought and paid for was once in jail as well? And when Blaine is accused of a crime himself, can Elizabeth trust in his innocence? “…Join them as, with God's help and love, they learn to see each others' innocence and learn that love can lead to freedom…” *** FREE DOWNLOAD *** FOR A LIMITED TIME, YOU CAN GET A CLEAN WESTERN SHORT STORY ROMANCE, FOR FREE - click here to find out more > bit.ly/fayesonjabooks (just copy and paste into your browser) This is a sweet and CLEAN WESTERN ROMANCE short story.
