Eirica Macauley sees the road to better days: the remainder of the Oregon Trail. The trail is hard, even for experienced cattle hands like James Jones, but the mans will and determination lend Eirica strength. Yet, Eirica knows she can never accept the cowboy's love; the shadows that darken her past will hardly disappear in the light of day. But as each night passes and their wagon train draws nearer its destination, James's intentions grow clearer James stays beside her, the beautiful widow knows that when dawn comes, shell no longer be alone.
I love animals. I have 5 cats, ages 12, 12, 11, 2,& 2. I also have 2 adorable Chiweenie pups named JJ and Abbey.
The 4 youngsters in the pet department make me smile, laugh and sometimes groan each and every day. Recently, I got temporary (ha!) custody of my daughter’s 3 year old, Great Pyrenese named Shasta. We've bonded, especially her to me, so what do you think that means.... Seriously, she's a special needs dog and very sweet.
Each spring, we have a nest of swallows in our entry way and I love to watch the babies leave the nest and take flight.
I enjoy crafts of all sorts including quilting, sewing, cross stitch and knitting. Knitting and crochet are my current passions.
I also enjoy gardening. Through my love of all things Native American, I designed a 26 foot Medicine Wheel Garden. It is a big project but one that I enjoys, except when the weeds threaten. Right now its uncertain who is winning this war.
Camping, fishing, biking and hiking (when not hot) are other outdoor pursuits I enjoy with my husband of 35 years.
I am, of course, an avid reader. I hate cooking and housework and love to listen to a wide variety of music, including Neil Diamond, Celtic, Native American, Classical, and mood music (bagpipes and howling wolves drive my family nuts). My current favorites are Blackmore's Night and David Lantz
I love to hear from my readers and I try to answer all my mail but sometimes it takes a while. Be patient. And check back here for the latest news of my books.
Bio
Native American/Western romance writer Susan Edwards is the author of the popular “White” Series. She was nomination for Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Western Historical and Reviewer’s Choice Best Book Award.
She is very pleased to be able to offer to her readers her White series in Digital Format. Her SpiritWalker series is also becoming available in digital format starting Summer 2013. Susan is also working on a new White book, a reunion of characters that she hopes will be available December 2013.
A pregnant heroine features prominently in this book part of the White series … tho can easily be read as a standalone.
White Nights by Susan Edwards (2000) begins with the story of Eirica who’s pregnant with her fourth child and her extremely abusive husband on a wagon train along the Oregon Trail. He drowns in an accident and she’s left all alone until the hero, James offers to help her and her children. But did her husband really die?
She has a loveless marriages faces hardship and in the beginning is terrified of her circumstances. The hero, James is caring, loving and passionate and work hard to show that all men are not alike. He is there for the birth of the baby and deeply cares even though he’s not the father.
This is probably a relatively unknown book; nevertheless it’s definitely worth reading for the unusual storyline of a married pregnant heroine who finds her happily ever after with another man.
This was a sweet romance. The heroine had three kids and one on the way. Her husband had been a complete brute, but the hero was excellent. Very interesting details about life on the Oregon Trail.
