By 1894, he’d had enough time to forget about my older sister and start noticing me. He reminds me so much of Papa. A man with a strong faith in God. A horse trainer. All my efforts, like baking extra treats just for him, have yielded no results.
A surprise encounter one evening gives him the opportunity to save my life. I sensed something change between us.
Is it foolish to hope he might someday love me?
A sweet, clean Christian historical romance novella set in Prescott, Arizona Territory in 1894.
Previously released under the title “Dory’s Desire.”
