Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer presents one of her most beloved, enduring stories . . .

Hoping to escape the shame of her street urchin's life in Boston, Anna Reardon plotted a desperate scheme—to become Karl Lindstrom's mail-order bride in the beautiful, dangerous frontier of Minnesota.

A kind and gentle man, Karl forgave Anna for her deceptions. But there was still one burning secret she had to hide from him, knowing its revelation would destroy the love they had come to cherish.

About LaVyrle Spencer

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.

4.5 stars Second book to read by the author. Enjoyed this one more. To me, this is a book not only about forgiveness but also about commitment to marriage. Two people who had not met and in many ways were wrong for each other arranged a marriage sight unseen. Regardless of another mate more suited, th......more

Goodreads review by Katrina on December 14, 2013

This book would have garnered a higher rating from me had I been able to like the heroine, Anna, even a little bit. I couldn't.
