Bride in the Storm (Chance Creek Brides Book 3)

by Mary L. Briggs

Overview

Left destitute and alone, Adeline Fleming must say goodbye to England and the only life she's ever known. Her father–of whom she has no memory–waits for her in Chance, Texas. The only thing Adeline is sure of, is the fact that her mother took her and fled from this man and his ranch over twenty-three years ago, never to return. Why would a loving God put her at the mercy of the man her mother left? Or does God even care? Her grandfather left her penniless and the man she must call father seemingly abandoned all contact with her. Maybe she is meant to break from all tradition and make her own way in America.

Mark Murphy is a man who means to make a success of his furniture business. No time for courting giggling neighbor girls, he is dedicated to his craft. When he agrees to meet neighbor, Samson Fleming's, daughter and bring her home, his heart is not ready for the attraction he feels for the woman. Nor is he prepared for the pain of her eventual rejection. Despite her rebuff, he feels compelled to keep her safe from a rash decision, and convince her to seek the plan that God has for her life. Will she listen, or will he lose her forever?
