Winning the Blacksmith: Sweet Western Romance (Love in Apple Blossom Book 6)

By Kit Morgan

A Knight
A Damsel in Distress
And one Fire Breathing Dragon.

Well, not really, but when Oliver Darling is saddled with telling Etta Whitehead, the town blacksmith, that she's next on their list of "fix it" projects, he might as well be battling a beast. In this case, he was fighting Etta's idea that she didn't deserve the help Oliver and his brothers wanted to give. What was wrong with building her a house? After all, she'd been sleeping in what amounted to a closet and it even had knotholes. How was he to win her over? Unfortunately, Oliver found himself battling something far worse when strangers come to town, along with some unexpected visitors.

Etta Whitehead had learned a long time ago to keep quiet and go unnoticed when her father drank too much. Folks in town looked down on them because of his drinking, and now that he was gone, it was as if half the town didn't realize she was still there, which suited her fine. Then Oliver Darling comes along and tells her he and his brothers are building her a house! Now the whole town would be watching her! But things take a turn when riders come into Apple Blossom, and everyone's fears are re-ignited. Were they friendly? Or were they no better than the outlaws that rode into town one day, robbed the bank the next, and massacred an entire posse? Find out in this sweet western romance as only Kit Morgan can deliver!
