About the book
A year after the Civil War, courageous former Union nurse Lydia McGuire, 25, was gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she sad yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear. Mr. Devon Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a wife. Only after Lydia had arrived in Washington territory did she learn that her bridegroom wasn't to be sweet Devon Quade, but his order brother Brigham, a widower with strapping shoulders, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town of Quade's Harbor, and the woman he married. Lydia's dislike of him was instantaneous yet Brigham was awakening in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she would share his bed, he would have to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love.... This classic novel of tempestuous love in the glory days of the American West showcases Linda Lael Miller's storytelling talent at its very best!
