This is a quiet little story that grabs the reader. I had a hard time putting it down. Jake marries Rebecca to save her from scandal. He'd been in love with her but thought she was unattainable until Rebecca's lover ran away and left her pregnant.
When Rebecca's wealthy father asked Jake to marry her, Jake didn't think twice. However, Jake and Rebecca decided to start over in Texas, where Jake had inherited some land. This did not go down well with Rebecca's father -- who promptly disinherited Rebecca.
All is not peaches-and-cream in Texas, however. Jake has two half-brothers who were passed over so that Jake could inherit the land. The brothers inherited their father's debts and Jake got the property. The two brothers seem to want a fair division of the land from Jake.
This unique story grabs the reader and won't let go until the end. Beautifully written.
