-Catherine Anderson, bestselling author of Seventh Heaven

Alexis Harrington, Award-winning author of The Bridal Veil and Allie's Moon

She Vowed Never To Surrender To Him.
Farrell Kirwan thought she was in love with Liam O'Rourke, not his wild and unpredictable brother Aidan. But when a family crisis forces her hand, she finds herself Aidan's wife, boarding a ship bound for America-leaving Ireland and Liam behind. Secretly, Farrell resolves that it will be a marriage in name only...

Could He Make Her Trust In Love Again?
Aidan harbors a taste for adventure and an unrequited love for Farrell Kirwan. He will not be deterred and knows that he can win her trust and heart. But a menace that has been tracking them from all the way back home threatens to destroy everything they have built together unless they can join forces and place their faith in each other-and the power of love...

"Alexis Harrington understands what is deep in a woman's heart and what a man truly needs, and is able to express this through her wonderful love stories."
--Romantic Times

Farrell loves Liam, but when she is harassed by her employer, Noel, she is surprised that her intended doesn't rush to her defense. Then Liam's brother, Aidan, commits a serious offense, and it is decided that Farrell and Aidan must marry and flee the country together. Farrell again wonders at how easily Liam lets her go while Aidan can't help but secretly be happy with their union. On the way to America the couple faces the horrors of travel in 1855--sickness, death, segregation by class, and frankly hazardous living conditions--only to reach New Orleans and run into a crazed Noel Cardwell, who is determined to make Farrell his own. The two escape once again, this time to Oregon City. Clearly they have come to love each other, but as Aidan begins to focus more on work than on Farrell, their fragile relationship begins to crumble. Will their love withstand more turmoil? Harrington's tale of triumph and tragedy is thoroughly engaging. Megan Kalan
