Pieces of Sky

Description

A woman with no one to rely on finds a man she can trust with her heart in the first"flawlessly written"(Chicago Tribune) western romance in Kaki Warner's Blood Rose Trilogy... Jessica Thornton is a long way from her native England. An authoress and milliner, she carries the weight of a scandalous secret-a horrible shame that has brought her to the West on a desperate search for the only family she can trust- her brother. No one prepared Jessica for the heat and the hardships-or for a man like Brady Wilkins. Despite the rancher's rough-hewn appearance and her own misgivings, Jessica must put her life in Brady's hands after their stagecoach crashes. Soon, she begins to see the man behind the callused hands and caustic wit-a man strong enough to carve out a home in the wilderness and passionate enough to restore Jessica's faith in herself...
