Kentucky Bride

Description for KENTUCKY BRIDE by Hannah Howell:

TO WED IN HASTE

The death of her father has left beautiful Clover Sherwood penniless and ostracized from Pennsylvania society. So when a prosperous backwoodsman comes to town hunting for a wife, the resourceful miss sees an opportunity to rescue her family from destitution--and proposes to the handsome Kentuckian on the spot!

A rugged and roughhewn Scotsman. Ballard MacGregor is pleased with the arrangement. The pretty little lass will teach him the manners he needs to rise in affluent circles--and he, in turn, will awaken her to the breathtaking wonder of the wilderness. But settlement life is harsh on his genteel young bride--whose sweet innocence bewitches Ballard totally. And unless he can win her love with tender caresses and sensuous kisses, Clover will leave--and take Ballard's aching heart with her.
