About this title

From the Back Cover:

CERTAIN SECRETS WON’T STAY HIDDEN...

Hoping to escape the shame of her street-urchin’s life in Boston, Anna Reardon plots a desperate scheme – to become Karl Lindstrom’s mail-order bridge in the dangerous frontier territory of Minnesota. He’s expecting a twenty-five-year-old capable housekeeper. He gets a skinny seventeen-year-old, with hair the colour of whisky and no domestic abilities whatsoever. 'And' she’s brought her little brother along.

Bur Karl is a kind and gentle man, who forgives Anna her deceptions. Slowly they come to trust each other and gradually, trust becomes a tender passion. Yet Anna knows there is one secret she must keep at all costs: just how she earned the money to bring her brother from Boston to Minnesota...

About the Author:

LaVyrle Spencer is a contemporary and historical romance novelist who has written twelve New York Times bestsellers. Whether set in the Old West or in present day suburban Minnesota, a Spencer novel means seeing love in a new light and meeting characters so real it's all you can do not to climb into the pages yourself. Several of Spencer's books have been made into movies (Publishers Weekly called one of her television deals "precedent-setting") and in 1988 she was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. She lives with her husband, Dan, in North Oaks, Minnesota.
