Scared and pregnant, Corrine fled with her mother and brother to a small Oregon town along the Pacific Coast. To protect her child from the stigma of being a bastard, they lied and said she was a widow.
Forrest Ryder, the traveling preacher, felt it was his duty to marry her in order to help her and her family since they were struggling financially. Shortly after exchanging vows, he went to tie up the loose ends in his traveling ministry. While he was gone, she gave birth to her daughter, and it was easy to forget her apprehension about being around the ‘fire and brimstone’ preacher who would never approve of her if he knew the truth.
But the day for him to come back to Oregon to make a life with her and her family has arrived, and she doesn’t know if she can make this marriage of convenience work.
*This is a lightly steamy historical western romance that features a virgin hero.
