My One True Love Deborah Small

A vow broken. Intention abandoned. True love always requires sacrifice... Widowed a second time, Margaret Sweeney battles ghosts from her past, and immediate threats to her future, as she struggles to rebuild her life from the ashes of yet another devastating loss in this emotional and heartfelt third book of the Dear One series.




Twice widowed ...

Georgia, 1916... Margaret Sweeney has no intention of marrying again. Her heart simply cannot withstand another loss. Besides, it's a rare man that knowingly weds a barren woman-and she buried him. To honour his memory, she decides to dedicate herself to Sugar Hill, the tobacco plantation he left her. But when she meets overseer Joe Banner, and his delightful daughter Maisie, all her plans to refrain from ever loving someone again, go awry...




Once bitten ...

Joe learned young the danger of giving his heart to a woman, and vowed to never make that mistake again. For a decade he's been true to his word. Then the new owner of Sugar Hill sweeps into his and Maisie's carefully ordered lives and upends everything, including his resolve to remain aloof...




Three lives forever changed ...

Painful as it is to lose in love, it's nothing compared to losing a child. And when Joe's past and Margaret's present conspire to threaten Maisie's future, the couple will do whatever it takes to save her-even if it means giving up every precious last piece of their damaged hearts...







A sensual journey to true and lasting love, My One True Love is a novel of the heart-its relentless quest for a family to call its own, and of love's unfailing power to heal even those hearts believed broken beyond repair...
