Michigan Brides Collection, Book 1

On a perilous mission to save her sister, Shell lose the one thing She didnt know was in danger . . . Her heart.

In 1883 Michigan, Lily Young is on a mission to save her lost sister, or die trying. Heedless of the danger, her searches of logging camps lead her to Harrison and into the sights of Connell McCormick, a man doing his best to add to the hard-earned fortunes of his lumber-baron father.

Posing during the day as a photographers assistant, Lily cant understand why any God-fearing citizen would allow evil to persist and why men like Connell McCormick turn a blind eye to the crime rampant in the town. But Connell is boss-man of three of his fathers lumber camps in the area, and like most of the other men, hes interested in clearing the pine and earning a profit. He figures as long as hes living an upright life, thats what matters.

Lily challenges everything he thought he knew, and together they work not only to save her sister but to put an end to the corruption

Lily Young's search for her missing sister leads her to Harrison, MI, where she poses as a photographer's assistant and comes into contact with Connell McCormick. Connell runs three lumber camps for his father and turns a blind eye to the destruction and crime around him. Lily can't understand how he can ignore what's happening. Can she change him? And will she find her sister? VERDICT Full of period detail and engaging dialogue, Hedlund's (A Noble Groom) historical should appeal to Susan Higginbotham fans.

Hedlund?s (The Preacher?s Bride) latest historical romance is a meaty tale of life amid the debauchery of the lumber camps of 1880s Michigan. The lumber barons turn a blind eye to the moral decay that is eroding towns overrun with brothels and saloons servicing a burgeoning population of lonely, work-weary men. Lily Young plunges headlong into this violent and unforgiving environment in search of her 16-year old runaway sister. Lily tags along as assistant to Oren, a photographer who guards the orphaned girl, although she engages in more meddling than assisting. Her reckless behavior endangers not only herself but the few good townfolk aiming to help her on her foolhardy quests, including camp boss Connell McCormack. Hedlund portrays passion in tantalizing scenes. Her antagonist, the ruthless James Carr, and his exploits are based on the brutality of a real-life brothel owner who enslaved young girls during the logging boom, killing those who were not compliant. Hedlund intricately balances romance and drama, asking where the line between good and evil lies and exploring the dangers that erupt when that line becomes blurred. Hedlund?s tale is exciting and unpredictable to the very end.
