Heart's Forgiveness : Wild Heart Books : 9781942265375 : 1942265379 : 06 Apr 2021 : Accepting an ad for a mail-order bride was supposed to solve her problems. It's 1890, and Golden, New Mexico, is a booming mining town where men far outnumber women. So when Jeremiah Dennison's good friend and mentor finds himself in need of a nurse, Philip places an ad for a mail-order bride-despite Jeremiah's protests. Hoping to escape a perilous situation back East, Madeleine Mercer answers the ad and arrives in town under a cloud of suspicion. What she finds in Golden is nothing like what she expected, especially not Philip, her expected husband-to-be. But just as she begins to win over Philip-and Jeremiah himself-the secrets she left behind threaten to follow her to Golden...and tarnish her character beyond redemption.
