A Fair Trade

2019 RONE AWARD FINALIST "A  delightfully lovely read sure to steal the reader's heart!"   -- Arec Rain, InD'tale Magazine
Raised by his fur trapper father and uncles, Jack Briggs has always made do with little more than a knife and flask. Alone now, he searches for a place to call home. And refined and beautiful Penelope Findley may be the person who can help him find it as he leads the Findleys' wagon to Oregon. 

Honor-bound by her marriage vows, Penelope snubs the rugged wagon leader whenever he shows an interest in her. But when she is widowed during the journey, Jack tempts her with the means to remain protection in a temporary marriage and payment once he receives the free acreage allotted to married settlers in Oregon.

Penelope doesn't realize all Jack really wants is her. All she wants is the freedom he promised. After all, could he ever love her if he knew about her past?
