The first book I read and really enjoyed was:
And then (I liked this one too):
Lorabeth Holdridge longed for life and experience! Cloistered by her strict father, her world was confined to chores and prayer. Her chance of escape came when she took a job as housekeeper to a boisterous family. Lorabeth reveled in her newfound freedom. And when Benjamin Chaney visited, she felt the stirrings of her first crush.
Jaded and cynical, Ben found it hard to trust, though Lorabeth’s sweetness soothed his battered soul and taught him joy. But he would have to face the demons of his past to find a glorious future in Lorabeth’s arms!

Thank you! I saw your post in my google alerts today.
You wouldn’t believe the mail I got from The Doctor’s Wife. That story seemed to strike a chord with people everywhere.
There is a second story, The Lawman’s Bride, in which Ellie and Caleb make appearances. And of course I’d wanted to write Benjamin’s story for a long time. It was fun deciding the perfect woman for him. I originally called The Preacher’s Daughter The Perfect Wife, but it was changed.
Thanks for posting about my stories. So glad you enjoyed them.
Oh! And I just noticed you’ve linked to Petticoats and Pistols! You rock!
