Tempting
Will McGlashen
by Liz Everly (@Lizeverly1)
Blurb:
Mathilde Miller wanted to be a good
daughter and marry the son of a long-time family friend, Joshua Bowman. But she
didn’t want to be the wife of a Pennsylvania farmer. She loved her life, cooking
on the Virginia frontier at her family’s ordinary. The minute blacksmith Will
McGlashen walks into her kitchen, her restlessness focused on him. Fresh from
Scotland, with a voice “like a song” and thick coppery hair, her heart belonged
to him. Was it possible for the daughter of a Pennsylvania German to marry a
hired man from Scotland? What did she really know about Will McGlashen and his
secret past?
Will McGlashen needed to keep his own
counsel. A man with a past full of violence and loss in Scotland, he was
grateful for this chance to rebuild his life as a blacksmith in Virginia. He’d
have to ignore the undeniable pull he felt toward his boss’s eldest daughter.
When Joshua Bowman showed up and claimed her, instead of providing resolution
for will, it burns like the fire he wields in his blacksmith shop. As events
unfold, Will wonders if the signs she’s sending him are all in his head and
prays that he has the strength not to find out.
The story is set in the Virginia frontier
in 1765, a time when Native Americans still lurked in the hills, bandits and
robbers were handed swift justice, and enterprising men and their families
attempted to live in and tame the wild western edge of the new colonies. An
ordinary offering good food, a bed, and company for travelers along the way was
a much welcomed respite. Mathilde and Will's story is woven into the history,
adventure, and danger of the time period.
