The Widower's Heart
(2027)(The third book in the Sagebrush Springs series)
A novel by Melissa Maygrove
Sometimes the bravest thing a heart can do is take a chance.
Mail-order bride Hannah Keegan crossed half a continent on the promise of a future. Marrying an older man means stability and a chance at love for a plain young lady like her. But when Hannah arrives in Nebraska, she’s met by her widower groom—and his wife, who is very much alive.
Eli Owens never asked for another woman. He loves his wife deeply, refuses to believe she’s dying, and has no room in his heart for the replacement she picked. But to Annie, Hannah is hope...a mother for her children, and a companion for the husband she’ll soon leave behind.
Hannah forgives the deception and cares for the Owens family as they navigate the unthinkable, and she tries to open her heart to Eli. But when a suitor her age offers Hannah the future of her dreams, and she must decide whether to walk away or stay and risk binding herself to a man who may never love her in return.
