Seasons to Grow

Publisher Marketing: When Barbara Newbrough sees a shadowy figure ride into town on an icy morning, she never dreams how arrogant and angry the young man can be. A flood of emotions envade her ranging from anger to compassion to strings pulling at the heart. She doesn't know how she can gain the confidence of the stranger even though he has moved into her mother's boardinghouse. To Jeremiah Johnson, Turkey Creek Camp is a desolate place. The Texas Panhandle is a long way from the comforts of Georgia and the plantation he lived on. If he wasn't determined to find answers to his past he would never have been driven to the middle of nowhere. The red haired beauty isn't what he expects to find and she complicates his plans. He decides the best thing to do is get his business over and leave as soon as possible, but his well laid plans don't work out the way he wants. The longer he stays the more he sees potential in a relationship with Barbara. But, as fate deals its heavy hand, her mother steps in and forces him to leave the settlement. Will the love Barbara feels survive when she finds out Jeremiah's real name isn't Johnson and his goal is to confront a couple in the settlement and upset their lives? Will Barbara be able to come to terms with the events that happen next and be able to face the possibility that Jeremiah will not return for her? Will she hold out for true love and possibly never marry or cave under pressure from her mother and marry a man she doesn't love?
