Violet's Wish
After he left her standing at the altar eight years ago in Blue Ridge, Texas, Violet McDonald never wanted to see Orrin Wilde again. Now after a dull marriage has left Violet a widow ready for a bit of excitement, who should turn back up in her life but Orrin? While traveling to Texas from the California gold fields, Orrin is ambushed by four desperados but manages to escape to Dodsworth, Oklahoma, where in a quirky twist of fate he ends up on the front porch of Violet's house. Violet certainly cannot turn down a man who has just been shot, so she agrees to nurse Orrin back to health, vowing all the while that she will not give him a second shot at ruining her life! Two independent, stubborn people give love another chance in Brown's second historical romance, which not only features appearances by characters from her first book,Emma's Folly[BKL F 15 02], but also the same charming small-town setting.John CharlesCopyright © American Library Association.
