NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A DESPERATE DECEPTION
THE PROMISE OF FOREVER
When Karl Norwood's mail-order bride meets an untimely demise on the way
to the Montana Territory, Hetty Wentworth steps in to take her place.
Hetty has no idea how she's going to pretend to be all the things she
isn't--including the mother of two kids. She only knows her deception is
necessary if she's going to save two orphans from the awful fate she
suffered as a child.
Karl smells a rat when a much younger woman than he was expecting
arrives with two children who look nothing like her. But his mail-order
bride is so beautiful, he doesn't object--until he realizes that his
charming new wife has been lying . . . about everything. Can a woman
forced to keep secrets and a man hindered by distrust ever hope to find
happily ever after in each other's arms?
