Love, Julie, is a sweet
historical romance with a lively heroine who meets her match in Grey
Eagle's Sheriff.
Julietta Brightingham may be
an heiress, but with a passion for teaching and an unscrupulous
uncle forcing her into marriage to gain control over her fortune,
she high tails it to a teaching position in the wilds of Montana
with her blonde hair dyed brown, a pair of unnecessary glasses on
her nose and a new name of Juliet Bright to fit her new life.
When she runs smack dab into
the broad chest of handsome Sheriff, Jack White, she's worried his
intense scrutiny will reveal her secret. But the Sheriff's scrutiny
isn't because he suspects she's a runaway heiress but because she's
too pretty, too young and too darn tempting to be a school teacher
in his town. He was expecting someone older, someone who he wouldn't
be ashamed to confide his secret, someone he could ask for
help.
But Julie Bright is the one
who has been sent to help school the children and he recognizes
instantly that where Miss Julie goes, trouble follows. Because
besides being a fine teacher, Miss Julie is a fighter for the
underdog even if it means facing down the whole darn community.
Sheriff Jack has his hands full with the new lady-in ways he hadn't
intended.
Julie certainly wants to win
over the Sheriff but she didn't expect his quiet, commanding ways
would also win her heart.
Jack can't help but worry
about what Julie will think when she finds out his secret any more
than Julie can keep from wondering what Sheriff Jack will do when he
finds out hers. With love in the air and her uncle's gunman
traveling fast, the time for worrying and wondering is growing
short.
Love, Julie's
take-charge hero and feisty heroine may be from two different
worlds, but they share common values as they help build a new,
better place on the western frontier where love can grow. With
wonderful details and sparkling characters, it was easy to love Love,
Julie. |
