A bookish frontier bride. A wounded logger. A love that cannot survive pretending.
Charlotte Bellamy believes love should be brave. After years of being protected by her practical older sister, the hopeful young bride arrives in Wild Rose Ridge determined to marry her intended, build the town’s first lending library, and prove happy endings belong even in a rough logging town. When Cecil Peterson steps back from her trunk of books, hides his damaged hand, and insists she call him Peterson, Charlotte realizes the kind man from the letters is far more guarded than she expected.
Cecil Peterson stopped believing he was whole. The winter which cost him two fingers, also taught him the softer parts of himself—his love of books, his mother’s poems, even his Christian name—were safer buried beneath a rough logger’s silence. A tender, romantic bride like Charlotte deserves a man who can offer her everything. Releasing her from the match may be the only honorable thing he has left to give.
Even though Charlotte is falling for Cecil’s quiet kindness, hidden intelligence, and wounded heart, she must learn love cannot rescue a man who refuses to be seen. Although Cecil is drawn to Charlotte’s warmth, courage, and unshakable belief in him, he must decide whether loving her means protecting her from himself or finally offering her the truth.
Can Charlotte and Cecil stop hiding behind fear before the Independence Day celebration ends, or will pretending cost them the love they were meant to find?
Charlotte is the next tender installment in the Wild Rose Ridge Historical Christian Western Romance series. If you enjoy bookish heroines, wounded logger heroes, mail-order bride matches, and faith-filled frontier communities, then you’ll love Christine Sterling’s heartfelt tale of courage, truth, and a love brave enough to be seen.
