Product Description

▼▲

When Audrey Cunningham's father proposes that they move to Bridal Veil Island, where he grew up, she agrees, thinking this will help keep him sober and close to God. But they arrive to find wealthy investors buying up land to build a grand resort on the secluded island--and they want the Cunninghams' acreage.

Contractor Marshall Graham can't imagine why the former drinking buddy of his deceased father would beckon him to Bridal Veil Island. And when Boyd Cunningham asks him to watch over Audrey, Marshall is even more confused. He has no desire to be saddled with caring for this fiery young woman who is openly hostile toward him. But when Audrey seems to be falling for another man--one who has two little girls Audrey adores--Marshall realizes she holds more of his heart than he realized. Which man will Audrey choose? And can she hold on to her ancestral property in the face of overwhelming odds?

Award-winning authors Peterson and Miller team up for a new historical romance series, Bridal Veil Island. It's August 1886, and unmarried 28-year-old Audrey Cunningham discovers from her widowed father, Boyd Cunningham, that they are in financial trouble. Having recently moved back South to their homeland on "the Island," Boyd tells his daughter their situation is anything but promising. Audrey rehashes her life, her father's drinking, her mother's untimely death, and the loneliness she experienced from both. The two determine to save the family's land somehow and, working together, it appears they will be successful. Add to the mix two suitors who begin courting Audrey in their own unique ways; mysterious trouble on the island; and her father's ailing health. Audrey is forced to face her tendency to mistrust people and God. Amid comedy, romance, and faith concerns, Peterson and Miller do a tidy job of handling multilayered themes in this lighthearted novel. (Sept.) Copyright 2011 Reed Business Information.
