Stricken

By Marlene Bierworth

Clare Jones is content with her life at the homestead, until the doctor and the cook set out to battle for her hand in marriage. One holds secrets of the past and an unpredictability that Clare is determined not to fall prey to a second time, while the other is stable and promises a normal life, which is Clare's comfort zone and her perfect happy-ever-after. Stacy is new in town, and while becoming a valuable asset in the doctor's life, her plans do not include Clare. At the same time the ranch cook is haunted with memories concerning the mystery of his deceased wife and son, and continually pushes Clare away. When the doctor makes the first move, Clare accepts his proposal and the search for true love begins. Stacy does her part to create friction but when the cook disappears without a trace, the hunt is underway. From a medical crisis to an Indian village, Clare is on a journey of a lifetime and love is the prize. Stricken down in despair and lifted up with fresh purpose and joy. Purchase STRICKEN today.
