Carolyn Brown (Author)

Book Description

Series: Avalon Romance | Publication Date: June 24, 2010

Bridget O'Shea had sworn she'd never fall in love again. She had a hotel, The Black Swan, to operate alone, since her sisters--Catherine and Alice--had both married the previous year. And then there was Ella, her lovely baby daughter. The hotel and Ella took up all her time and energy. Wyatt Ferguson had planned on staying in Huttig, Arkansas, just long enough to wait for the next train going south. But a red-haired lady who thought he was another out-of-work soldier just home from the war insisted on hiring him to kill a rat for her. The Black Swan seemed a good place to stay for a while. After all it was only for six weeks and what could happen in that time?

From Booklist

Bridget O'Shea is only 19, but in the past year she has buried both parents, divorced her abusive husband, conspired with her two elder sisters on his disappearance, and given birth. Now she is running the Black Swan Inn by herself after her sisters have married and moved away. Needing help, she heads to the train station, where many are looking for work. But Wyatt Ferguson is not the hobo soldier she assumes. Instead, he is wealthy and successful and wants the job mainly because the woman he loves is engaged to his best friend, and he prefers to avoid the festivities. As Brown wraps up her historical romance trilogy (Pushin' Up Daisies, From Thin Air, both 2009) set in 1920 Huttig, Arkansas, with flair and her trademark humor, she skillfully connects the Fergusons with Briar Nelson, from her previously published Drifters and Dreamers romance series (Morning Glory, Sweet Tilly, Evening Star, all 2007), and the oil boom about to transform the countryside. --Lynne Welch
