Housekeeper Bride
(2021)(The fifth book in the Mail-Order Brides of Sweet Water, Kansas series)
A Novella by Mildred Colvin
Her goal is to pay back the debt her father owed.
His is to keep her away from his family.
Maggie Thompson believes she owes the Lewis family more than she can give because of her father’s illegal actions… and because she failed Jim Lewis’s father by fearing to tell him the truth. When she agrees to become their housekeeper, she doesn’t know Jim’s mother and his daughters have an ulterior motive in offering the job. The antagonism Jim shows her is hurtful, but understandable. After all, isn’t it her fault his father died?
Jim Lewis believes he could have prevented his father’s death, if only he’d paid more attention to what was going on. He knew Maggie’s father was a conman, but he didn’t realize how dangerous the man was until it was too late. His attraction to her is immediate, which makes him fight her appeal all the harder. If he can, he’ll run her off before she charms her way into his mother’s and daughters’ hearts…and his.
Can Maggie work long enough to pay for Jim’s loss of his father? Could their two lives brought together in love smooth the path to healing? Or can forgiveness ever be given when a life has been taken?
