Words to Treasure
Wren Osborne was trapped

For almost all of Wren's twenty-two years, her Uncle Odell had treated her like a slave, refusing to send her to school in Beasley Creek and threatening to have her shunned--or worse--if she dared disobey his harsh rules.

Still, Wren had spirit. And her craving to learn was stronger than her fear of Odell. She risked asking for help from the new school superintendent, Colin Hughes.

Colin welcomed her as a student, valued her as a friend ...and desired her as a lover. Under his gentle tutelage, Wren found the courage to break all the rules.
