Small Town Romance Collection: Four Complete Romances & A New Novella
Carolyn Brown - 2017
Red River Deep Tracey has a secret, and bittersweet memories that she keeps close to her heart. Maybe a brand new start in a brand new town would help erase the memories. An Old Love’s Shadow Mercy thought that what happened in Mexico was supposed to stay in Mexico but the secret followed her home to Oklahoma. Bride for a Day Cassie was on the run with a sheriff coming right at her and a handsome farmer close enough that she could touch him. Then she was married at least for a day—and his family wanted to know all her secrets. The Third Wish Jessica certainly had no desire to get involved with anyone once she’d found out the secret in her background, especially not the arrogant Rocky Rycroft. A collection that all Carolyn Brown fans will be sure to enjoy!
