Floree Sequoia Bride
(2025)(The second book in the National Park Brides series)
A novel by Linda Carroll-Bradd
Due to the impact of commercial interests on the scenic land that became known as Yosemite, the 38th United States Congress passed legislation creating the Yosemite Grant, which President Abraham Lincoln signed into law on June 30, 1864. It was the first time land was set aside by the U.S. government specifically for preservation and public use. Although initially Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove were ceded to California as a state park, this action set a precedent for the 1872 creation of Yellowstone National Park, the nation’s first national park. Over the years, as more lands were set aside as national parks, these natural wonders captured the imaginations of those who visited and enjoyed their beauty. Join several of your favorite authors as we share romances and adventure set in several of North America’s early national parks.
Artist Floree Percival goes to stay with the Sprague family in Sequoia National Park. Captain Hank Sprague serves as park manager and agrees to chaperon her. A student in the natural science department of University of Southern California, she’s also the illustrator for her university mentor’s book on the birds and wildlife of California. But her heart’s desire is to write and illustrate children’s stories.
Corporal Kent Mercher is in Sequoia National Park in its second summer with his cavalry unit from the Presidio in San Francisco. Their assignment is to prevent wildlife poaching, sheep grazing, and illegal logging. What he doesn’t expect is to be assigned to a two-man guard duty unit to protect an artist, who has no business being there when the cavalry has serious business to attend to.
Coming from different backgrounds, the two have almost nothing in common until one afternoon when they are forced to seek shelter in a cave, escaping a pack of wild boars. Camaraderie develops from that day forward until illegal logging is discovered in the park and Floree is shocked to recognize her cousins are the culprits. Caught in the middle between family and a new love, what will Floree choose?
An opposites-attract, class differences sweet historical romance
