Darcie Desires a Drover, book seven in the Brides with Grit series was just released so I'd like to tell you about it.
This sweet wholesome romance series is set in 1873 near Ellsworth, Kansas.
Darcie Robbins is the sister to Millie Wilerson (Millie Marries a Marshal, book 2) and mother of Tate, the two-year old who has gotten his share of attention in the book series.
The “drover” is Reuben Shepard, all-around cowhand and cook at the Bar E Ranch. Reuben left the ranch during Cora Captures a Cowboy (book 4) to visit his family in New York.
Here's the story line
Darcie
Robbins fled St. Louis to protect her two children from their bad father. Now
divorced, she’s temporarily working on the Bar E Ranch in central Kansas. She
needs a permanent job—or a trustworthy husband—to help provide for her family.
Reuben
Shepard went home to his family in New York after the Civil War, to find his
wife had declared him dead—so she could wed another. In shock, Reuben didn’t
contest her claim and wandered south, spending years as a cattle drover on
western trails until settling down to work on the Bar E Ranch.
Spending
time with Darcie’s toddler, Tate, makes Reuben miss his own son, Gabe. Reuben
travels to New York, hoping to visit his son, and ends up bringing Gabe back to
the Kansas because the boy’s step-father had just died.
When
Reuben proposes marriage to Darcie for their children’s sake, the couple falls
in love as they learn to trust and support each other while planning for their
future. But their wedding is stalled when Reuben’s former wife arrives, stating
she and Reuben are still married.
What’s
the truth and what’s best for the children is their concern now instead of a
wedding date. How can they clear the past so they can have a future together?
