Publisher's Synopsis
Picking up where the collected stories of The Cooke Brothers (Prairie Brides Books, 1-3) leaves off, we met three men new to Clear Creek, each there looking for something different ... Andel Berg came to Clear Creek under the guise of becoming the new blacksmith, but little did the townspeople of Clear Creek know that he was so much more! Madeline Van Zuyen came to Clear Creek for a new beginning and the chance to start a new life. Little did she know that SHE was so much more! Mr. Berg had a duty to perform. Find the Princess Madelaina at any cost, retrieve her, and deliver her to Count Rudge, one of the most despicable men Andel had ever known. Not an appealing task for a Captain of the King's Guard but unfortunately, Andel had no choice. If he didn't deliver the princess Count Rudge would kill his father and Andel was prepared to do anything to keep that from happening. But Andel hadn't counted on falling in love. If he didn't deliver the princess his father would die. And if he did could Andel live with himself not to mention, live without his princess? Logan Kincaid came to Clear Creek to help out the Cooke brothers and became their new foreman. It wasn't long before they sent him to Oregon City on ranch business for the Triple C. He sold the cattle he brought, played detective for the Cooke's as instructed, (due to the mayhem of Mr. Berg several weeks prior) and unfortunately, came up empty handed. He'd hoped beyond hope he'd have SOMETHING to bring back to Clear Creek that would help the Cooke's and the tiny town, but sometimes what we think we want, isn't what we need, and Logan (with a little unexpected help) got EXACTLY what he needed! She was beautiful, she was alone, and she was terribly injured. Who was this man who came out of nowhere to rescue her? He saved her from certain death and was determined to take her back with him to a place called Clear Creek. He was handsome, strong, and kind and if she wasn't careful, she'd be quickly smitten. In fact, he was so determined to protect her he offered to marry her to do it! There was only one problem. She had no idea who she was! Join Logan on his quest to return to Clear Creek and bring to the tiny town just what the Ladies Sewing Circle ordered ... Josiah King came to Clear Creek with a past. A past no one in town knew about until now. For the one person in the world who knew of the deed he'd done had been part of it, and Josiah thought to never see Annie Stone again. Annie Stone was on the run, running from an evil so vile, so utterly despicable she couldn't bear to speak of it to anyone. But the residents of Clear Creek were different and Annie thought perhaps in time she could finally face her past, until she saw Josiah King. What was he doing there? How could she face him? If he, Josiah King, the only man Annie had ever loved found out what she'd done, he'd surely have her run out of town! Can two people who once loved each other trust each other enough to love again?
