The Stone-Cold Heart of Valentine Briscoe (Large Print)

Description

Covington, Georgia, had always been Haven Abernathys home. And yet when Haven receives a letter informing her that both her mother and father were gone - laid to rest in a far-off land - those loved ones remaining encourage Haven to move west - to a place where secrets could be better kept and where a young woman might have hope of fulfilling her dreams. Determined to build a new future for herself and the family of her heart, Haven goes west to the tiny town of Fletcher, Colorado, and, with loyal new friends, builds her millinery shop and even teaches young students etiquette and decorum. In her new home, Haven has found the peace and security she craves - for those in Fletcher are ignorant of her dark secret. All is well for Haven Abernathy - safe, comfortable, content. Until, that is, the day he crossed her path, the day he saved her life - Fletchers brooding newcomer, Valentine Briscoe. Burdened with a dark history and secrets of his own, Valentine believes his heart incapable of feeling anything but malice in his obsessive quest for revenge. When shadows from his tragic past invade the quiet peace of Fletcher and throw Haven and Valentine together, Haven discovers her own secrets intertwined with Valentines. Will Haven have the courage to reveal her longcached family history? Will she be able to free Valentine from his burdens of guilt and revenge - and ultimately thaw the stone-cold heart of Valentine Briscoe?
