Only Forever
Ashleen O'Shea looked like a blue-eyed angel ... and indeed she believed in making miracles. She stole a precious chalice from the convent that had sheltered her and escaped famine-struck Ireland, with four little orphans in tow. Landing in America, she discovered another miracle -- fate deeded her a farm in Texas and delivered her into the hands of Garret MacQuade, a dashing scoundrel. Handsome and powerful, MacQuade was sworn to protect her in spite of himself, yet his heart opened slowly, reluctantly, to Ashleen and the children. But even more savage than the dangers that lay before them on the trail was the pain of the past. And Garret knew, at journey's end, that he must settle a deadly score ... or lose the bright promise of home, family, and the incomparable woman that could be his... only forever.
