Description
When Clara Vesper's husband, Adolph, dies suddenly, Clara is stunned--but not grief-stricken. Her marriage to Adolph had been arranged, their primary interaction revolving around the sapphire jewelry Clara designed and Adolph produced and sold. Widowed and penniless, with two small children, Clara decides to return to her aunt and uncle's ranch in Montana, the only place she has ever been happy.
Curtis Billingham, injured in a sapphire mine collapse, is recuperating at the ranch of his friends, Paul and Madeline Sersland. But when the Serslands' niece returns from New York City, Curtis curses both his broken body and his broken past. Clara, the love of his life, has come back to him, but he is no longer worthy of her love.
Clara's brother-in-law Otto Vesper, Adolph's business partner, fears that the loss of Clara's design skills will doom the company's prospects. Following her to Montana, Otto is prepared to do whatever it takes to get Clara to return with him to New York.
As Clara fights for love and freedom, a dangerous secret in her late husband's life comes to light, threatening everyone she loves.

Despite a single expletive early on, this was a wonderful book that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I thought the mother of the lead was going to drive me nuts, because she’s one of those overbearing sorts that thinks she can control her grown-up and widowed daughter, but Clara stood up well for herself. That really saved the story for me. I adored how she wasn’t afraid to fight for her kids, even if it meant using a bit of playacting to accomplish that goal. It was interesting having the leading man be injured to the point of being dependent on others for care, but I felt this added a unique twist to the plot. The faith thread was good and solid, and once again the author pointed out that gossip is a sin. I applaud that every time, because it’s such an easy sin to fall into or overlook, but it’s a sin nonetheless. It’s wonderful to see an author who’s consistent on calling out this sin—in a grace-filled way—in several books she’s written. I was sad to see this trilogy come to an end, but I’m sure I’ll find another series by Mrs. Peterson to enjoy before too long.
