A passionate embrace ruined her reputation. A moment of desire forced him to break a vow. Will they find love in a marriage of convenience?Annabelle Evans arrives in Bear Grass Springs, Montana Territory, in 1884 hoping to reunite with her long-estranged sister. Expecting to attend her sister’s wedding to Cailean MacKinnon, she is shocked at Cailean’s pronouncement. With his “I’m not marrying a … With his “I’m not marrying a whore” echoing in the General Store, Annabelle discovers that her hoped-for reconciliation will not be as she had imagined. Not one to retreat from a challenge, Annabelle opens her own business, intent on remaining near her sister to repair their damaged relationship and succeeding without the support of a husband.
Cailean Mackinnon swore off marriage twelve years ago when he fled the Isle of Skye in Scotland. A successful livery owner, he is determined to focus on his work and his siblings, adamant that he has no room in his life for love. However, he cannot suppress his fascination for the resourceful and determined Annabelle who, in turn, cannot avoid a reluctant admiration for the strong, virile, loyal Scot. A fateful kiss witnessed by the gossiping town busybody forces their mutual attraction into the open.
Annabelle’s independent spirit precludes a man in her life, and Cailean’s closed-off heart refuses to allow any woman in. Will Annabelle and Cailean overcome their fears for a timeless love?

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were fantastic and their emotions very vividly displayed. It was a tear jerker for me and I’m usually pretty jaded.
Just discovered this writer enjoyed the book tremendously and ordered second book in this series. Appreciate the character development
Entertaining, short read
Enjoyable read. My only complaint is I hate when issues that are brought up are not solved unless you read the next book. Makes it more of a soap opera
An excellent “feel good” book. I love reading books like this one because it reaffirms that there is always another way to persevere when things get tough and there is always a reason to not judge one another.
Good read for a rainy day.
Different from most western tgemes
The story grabs you from the very first. You find yourself cheering on the main character. Good western story that reminds of us of the past on how women were treated, morals were determine and prejudice that existed. The story also lets you know how the pioneers in the past had a hard life and what it took to make it.
Silly
