Cora's Promise

Historical Romance - Texas 1867 Cora Sutton keeps her promise to a dying friend. She makes the treacherous journey and delivers Berta's most cherished possession to Ramsey Locke in Rabbit Glen, Texas. Now what? Cora doesn't have a thought. Doesn't have a plan. Doesn't have anywhere to be. Ramsey is caught by complete surprise. He never anticipated such a gift. The truth is, he spends hours in the saddle running his ranch and doesn't have the time required to honor and preserve Berta's Treasure. He strikes a deal with Cora. She'll stay on to tend the household needs and make sure Berta's last wish is upheld. He'll sleep in the barn. No strings attached. When the town biddies discern that Cora is pregnant, the church demands Ramsey take responsibility for her condition. "I've never so much as kissed the woman," Ramsey protests. "I'm not the father of her baby." However, the church folks get out their calendars, and it all adds up for them. Ramsey gives Cora his name to save her reputation, but will he ever give her his heart?
