Marked

by Jeanne Hardt

Overview

Cora Craighead wants more than anything to leave Plum Point, Arkansas, aboard one of the fantastic steamboats that pass by her run-down home on the Mississippi River. She's certain there's more to life out there...somewhere. Besides, anything has to be better than living with her pa who spends his days and nights drinking and gambling.

Douglas Denton grew up on one of the wealthiest estates in Memphis, Tennessee. Life filled with parties, expensive clothing, and proper English never suited him. He longs for simplicity and a woman with a pure heart-not one who craves his money. Cora is that and more, but she belongs to someone else.

Cora finally gets her wish, only to be taken down a road of strife, uncertainty, and mysterious prophecies. When she's finally discovered again by Douglas, she's a widow, fearing for her life and that of her newborn child and blind companion.

Full of emotions, family secrets, and the search for true love, you'll find it's not just the cards that are marked.

About the Author

After growing up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Jeanne moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in music and acting.
But in November of 2010, she found that her true love is writing. A dream inspired her first historical romance, and she hasn't stopped writing since. Her love for American history has driven her to dig deep into researching her time periods in order to bring a realistic and touching story to her readers. She hopes that you will enjoy reading them as much as she enjoys writing them.
She currently lives with her husband in Tennessee where they spend their spare time spoiling their grandchildren and living each day to the fullest.
