About the book
The Bartered Bride (Civil War Brides) "Do we marry or not, Caroline Holt?" It occurred to Caroline that everyone in her small North Carolina community accepted the obvious reason for her agreeing to marry Frederich Graeber. She was pregnant, and the real father of her baby was unwilling. She was due in a few short months. Her unborn child would have everything to gain by Caroline making the strong, silent farmer her husband. The Marriage Pledge "If you marry me, then the child will be mine." With Frederich's words ringing in her ears, Caroline made her decision. She'd become his bartered bride...and risk giving this enigmatic stranger her heart free.
