McKenna


Clara Kincaid - 2015
    Still reeling after the death of her parents, her uncle shows up with ownership paperwork, confiscating the store right out from under her. McKenna didn’t know what would become of them. She had four sisters at home and only enough money to last a year. She vows that she’d never marry, but then a handsome stranger, Cole Winters, stops by, proposing they go into business together in faraway Silver, Nevada. McKenna gives it serious thought, since opening a mercantile store in a gold rush town would be a very profitable venture. The only problem is that in 1875, it’s not proper for a woman to travel alone with a man. When Cole proposes they marry in name only, can she truly trust him? And is it worth the risk of losing her heart?

No one told me that being bad could feel so good. No one told me that when the big bad wolf tells you to run away and hide, you should listen.If I’d only known just how far from charming my prince was, I would have ignored the invitation.
