Colonial
Dream: A Time to Love (Book 2)
Michael Browning, a child of the
American Revolution, becomes surrogate father for his four siblings after the
early death of his parents. His Uncle Ben has also died, leaving the pulpit
empty in the church he started after the war. Bitterness has overcome Michael
as each of his siblings finds love with only his youngest sister, Louisa,
remaining at home. When the new pastor and his daughter, Susannah, take over
the rectory adjacent to the Browning home, he cannot accept Reverend Hawthorne
as a substitute for his Uncle Ben. When Louisa falls in love with Susannah’s
cousin Theo, Susannah encourages Louisa to elope and offers to serve Michael in
her stead. Susannah enjoys matchmaking and sets out to find a match for
Michael.
When Michael’s brother Isaiah is
taken by the British Navy, Michael must leave his bride before the wedding to
find and save his brother as the country begins a new war with Britain.
Can the beauty tame the beast and his bitterness to create a
new relationship based on trust and love?
How will a second war for Independence from Britain affect
their love?

A lovely and roller-coaster romance between two strong-willed
