Blurb:
Mathilde Miller wanted to be a good daughter and marry the
son of a long-time family friend, Joshua Bowman. But she didn’t want to be the
wife of a Pennsylvania
farmer. She loved her life, cooking on the Virginia frontier at her family’s ordinary.
The minute blacksmith Will McGlashen walks into her kitchen, her restlessness
focused on him. Fresh from Scotland,
with a voice “like a song” and thick coppery hair, her heart belonged to him.
Was it possible for the daughter of a Pennsylvania German to marry a hired man
from Scotland?
What did she really know about Will McGlashen and his secret past?
Will McGlashen needed to keep his own counsel. A man with a
past full of violence and loss in Scotland,
he was grateful for this chance to rebuild his life as a blacksmith in Virginia. He’d have to
ignore the undeniable pull he felt toward his boss’s eldest daughter. When
Joshua Bowman showed up and claimed her, instead of providing resolution for
will, it burns like the fire he wields in his blacksmith shop. As events
unfold, Will wonders if the signs she’s sending him are all in his head and
prays that he has the strength not to find out.
The story is set in the Virginia frontier in 1765, a time when
Native Americans still lurked in the hills, bandits and robbers were handed
swift justice, and enterprising men and their families attempted to live in and
tame the wild western edge of the new colonies. An ordinary offering good food,
a bed, and company for travelers along the way was a much welcomed respite.
Mathilde and Will's story is woven into the history, adventure, and danger of
the time period.
