Abraham's Dove

They call him "Killer." She may be the only woman stubborn enough to discover the man beneath the name. Jemima Wells didn't cross six months of dangerous seas to Sawyerville, Oregon, expecting an easy life—or even expecting to find a husband. Tall, strong, armed with a pistol and a stout club, she has learned to take care of herself. And after the loss she keeps buried in her past, she isn't certain she wants to risk her heart again. Abraham Grimes wants even less to do with the women who have invaded his rough logging town. Known around camp as "Killer," Abe is a powerful faller with a prison record, a hard temper, and no intention of being civilized by any prospective bride. Then a falling Douglas fir leaves Abe with a badly broken leg and places him helplessly in Jemima's care. Neither is pleased with the arrangement. But as stubborn arguments turn into reluctant trust, Jemima begins to discover there is far more to Abe's past than his dangerous reputation suggests. And Abe discovers that the formidable woman tending his wounds carries scars of her own. When his recovery suddenly takes a frightening turn, Jemima must confront the loss she has never forgiven herself for—and the terrifying possibility that she could lose a man she never intended to love. Two wounded hearts. Two closely guarded secrets. And one unexpected chance to discover that sometimes the strongest love begins when we finally allow someone else to care for us. Abraham's Dove is a clean and wholesome historical Western romance about healing, forgiveness, second chances, and finding love in the rough Oregon logging town of Sawyerville.
