The Wilderness Bride

by Ruth Ann Nordin

Overview

She came to the forest to die. His solitary life is the only thing that brings him peace.

1894. Lisa Foxhorn has nothing left. Rejected and humiliated by wealthy Eastern society over an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the grieving heiress surrenders her baby for adoption and flees to the Oregon coast to end it all. But when her suicide attempt fails, she's stunned to be taken in by a brooding man whose wild appearance is contradicted by his compassionate touch.

Ashley Carver has chosen isolation. Yet he can't turn away from the frail redheaded beauty he finds above the oceanside cliffs. And though the routine-loving recluse avoids all close relationships, his emotional walls waver when a traveling preacher makes assumptions about their situation and demands they marry.

Struggling to keep up the lies that conceal her tainted past, Lisa wonders if consummating their union could heal her raw wounds, specifically the need for another child to replace the one she had to give up. Though Ashely hates being vulnerable, their kisses tempt him into opening up to her. Will their deepening bond turn an unwanted marriage into a fiery love match?

The Wilderness Bride is the steamy first book in the Oregon historical western romance series. The hero is a virgin.

About the Author

Ruth Ann Nordin has written over 100 books, most of them being Regencies and historical western romances. As fun as writing is, she has also learned that time with family and friends is just as important. She has also learned that writing for passion is the best reason to write since it is what sustains an author's work for the long haul. That's why she's been able to keep writing for as long as she had. It's hard to believe she started out in ebooks back in 2009. How time flies.
