Kentucky Bride

by Hannah Howell

Beautiful Clover Sherwood never expected such a cruel fate. Her father's death has left her penniless, ostracized from Pennsylvania society, and abandoned by her fiance. All she has now is a grieving mother, two hungry little brothers and no prospects . . . until a wealthy Kentucky backwoodsman with a deep Scottish burr comes to town and inspires her to make a most daring move. It's no secret that rugged, rough hewn Scotsman, Ballard MacGregor is ready to marry. Nonetheless, he is surprised by genteel Clover's sudden proposal . . . and more than pleased. For the lass's sweet innocence is bewitching. But settlement life proves harsh on his refined young wife. And Ballard fears that unless he can awaken her passion and win her love as she has won his, he may lose his Kentucky bride.
