Desperate to escape the man who is
trying to force her to marry him, Elli Korpela leaves Finland and
sails to the United States as a mail order bride. Although she is
unsure of her decision, she travels to Austin, Texas to meet Nathan
White, her future husband. As soon as she sees his niece, Hannah, she
knows she's made the right decision. They marry. Although Nathan
tells her that he's only looking for someone to care for his niece,
attraction builds between them.
Then Elli's past seems to catches up
with her when she's attacked in their new home. But is it Elli's
past, or workers taking out their frustration on Nathan, the new
foreman at the quarry?
Although this is a novella, it's filled
with action and romance. The characters come alive, and you can't
help hoping that Elli and Nathan will become a complete family. The
setting is interesting although there is only a glimpse of the
Butterfly Palace that was featured in the first book in this series.
If you like historical romance with
some mystery, you'll enjoy this book.
I reviewed this book for the Thomas
Nelson Booklook Blogger program.
