Book Description

Series: Special Edition | Publication Date: July 1, 1998

IF ONLY THEY HAD MARRIED, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO…

But their warring families did everything in their power to keep Elias and Sarah apart—short of destroying their love for each other. And soon enough the Santiagos and the Greenwoods succeeded in tearing the young beauty from her darkly handsome—and forbidden—groom-to-be….

Now Sarah was back in town, but she was unprepared to see the bitterness in Elias's eyes—or the desire that still simmered there. If only for a moment they could forget the past, they could have it all—the love, the family, the future they once dreamed of….

MEN OF THE LAND:

As untamed as the land they love, these rugged heroes are irresistible!

Beautiful Sarah Greenwood returns to Taos, New Mexico after a twelve-year absence. Her father is ill, and despite their estrangement Sarah can't refuse her mother's plea for her return. Coming home means not only facing her father but also Elias Santiago--the true love kept from her by an age-old family feud. Both Elias and Sarah have thrived professionally--Elias as a successful businessman, Sarah as a world-famous fashion photographer--but neither of their hearts have healed, and when thrown together once again they discover that their feelings have only grown deeper over the years. The war between their families rages on, and if there is to be a happy ending for Elias and Sarah, both sides will need to overcome a lifetime of prejudice and hatred in order to make room for love. Generously seasoned with the flavors of the beautiful American Southwest, Meant to be Married is a touching tribute to the healing power of love. --Lois Faye Dyer

Oh, I hate that! ---------- Twelve years later!
Twelve years of hate and revenge - sorrow and pain.

Sarah Greenwood was torn from her husband-to-be's arms and spirited away.
Elias Santiago was thrown into jail on the charge of rape and kept incarcerated for 2 months. By the time he got out Sarah was long gone.

Now Sarah, a world renown photographer, returns to make peace with her very ill father. Not to forgive him but to make peace with her parents.

Eli is torn between love and hate, anger and grief for this woman he had loved so passionately.

Would there never be any peace between these two warring families? It all started 150 years ago when the Greenwoods hanged Manuel Santiago for the rape of Emily Greenwood.

Sarah refused to discuss her past but Eli still needed answers. Teresa Santiago wanted to become a model and asked her uncle, Eli to approach Sarah. Ah, what that eventually led to!
A resurgence of the love but not quelling the hate - Sarah wanted peace not remembrance. It appeared to be a lost cause until she started digging into the past.

For both Sarah and Elias becoming sucessess in their fields they still could not find happiness. What a story - there is lots more but I don't want to ruin it for you.

I would have like an ending that would have listed the two or three children they should have had by the ending of the story - boo-hiss on just a family of 2 children. They sure don't know where their treasures lay.

Ah well, Most excellent story - great characters - great stroy line.

Most definitely recommend --M Don't pass this up!
