Good. Size: 6x4x0; No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creasing, edge wear; She was 17 and all alone. Running into the Kentucky wilderness from the family who had attempted to sell her, Cherish Riley knew her enemies were tracking her. She never dreamed that a tall buckskin-clad man with a large brown dog would offer his protection--and that within hours he would propose marriage.
Cherish Riley is on the run; looking for her long overdue brother, Roy, and avoiding 2 men who have ?bought? Cherish. A frontiersman named Sloan Carroll crosses her path and saves her from the 2 ruffians.
Sloan is on his way to a settlement to find a woman to care for his dead brother's child, 2 year-old Orah Delle. Sloan asks Cherish if she would like the job ? oh, and would she like to marry him? He reminds Cherish that this is a dangerous land and as a young woman (17 years), she needs a protector.
At this point, the reader does not know why Sloan does not want to fall in love with any woman; he insists that he doesn't want a woman to have emotional control of him. Cherish realizes that she hardly knows the man, but she trusts him. She agrees to take care of the baby but turns down his offer of marriage.
Cherish settles into Sloan's home and things are going well when the baby's mother arrives and wants her baby back. Ada broke her husband's (Sloan's brother) heart when she left him, soon after the baby was born. He died and left the child in his brother's care.
Ada makes a major play for Sloan and says she wants him, the baby and Ada to become a family. However, she displays huge swings in temperament, threatens the other women in the house and beats her bonded woman. She threatens to take the baby away if Sloan doesn't want her.
I felt it was over-the-top that all the women wanted Sloan and all the men wanted Cherish. Of course, Cherish and Sloan were extremely beautiful and handsome. On the other hand, this story is action-packed and the pacing is wonderful. I finished the book in a day because I couldn't bear to set it aside.
