by Shanna Hatfield (Author)
She came to Pendleton for a fresh start.He plans to make her fall in love with it-and him.
Ilsa Thorsen is one of the most talented seamstresses of her time-accustomed to fine fabrics, elegant clients, and city refinement. But when she escapes an arranged marriage and arrives at her sister's ranch in Pendleton, Oregon, she finds herself surrounded by dust, livestock, and a way of life she never wanted.
And then there's Tony Campanelli.
Friendly, hardworking, and endlessly teasing, Tony thrives in small-town life-and takes particular delight in ruffling Ilsa's perfectly ordered world. He sees beyond her prim exterior to the brave, passionate woman beneath... and he's determined to show her that love and happiness are waiting right where she least expects it.
As sparks fly and hearts soften beneath wide western skies, Ilsa must decide if she's willing to trade control for something far more daring: a future filled with laughter, belonging, and love.
A sweet historical western romance, Ilsa features a fish-out-of-water heroine, a charming hero, sparks of chemistry, and a heartwarming small-town happily ever after.
Return to Pendleton, Oregon, where strong-willed women, devoted cowboys, and a close-knit community come together in stories filled with hope, humor, and heartfelt romance.
