Marriage at Circle M - Cowboy Collection Donna Alward 2nd edition

Past mistakes and old wounds need forgiveness and healing in this emotional story by bestselling author, Donna Alward.




Grace Lundquist knows how to take care of herself. She's had to be. Married young and divorced not long after, the town sweetheart has gotten good at being self-reliant. No one knows the pain she holds deep inside, though, and if she has her way, no one ever will. Not even sexy Mike Gardner, the man who is not only a good friend but the first to steal her heart. He still watches out for her...only these days his protectiveness feels an awful lot like trying to run her life. And she's not having it.




Mike knows he hurt Grace when they were just kids, but he's put his wandering days behind him and he's ready to settle down and start a family - with her. But the damned woman is so stubborn! He sees how hard she works and how tired she is, and he's frustrated she refuses any help. He doesn't mean to overstep, yet every time he tries to ease her burdens, he finds himself in trouble with her. But he's not giving up...




As Grace and Mike's feelings deepen, she knows she must tell him her secret. It isn't fair to keep him in the dark about all the reasons why they can't be together. Can they find a way to move past what can never be changed? Or is their relationship really over forever?
