When consumption claims the life of her overbearing father, Rayne Celeste is left alone on his vast plantation in Houma. An heiress to an endowment which everyone believes is too much for her to handle on her own, she seeks out the council of cousins in New York. What unsuspecting Rayne does not know if that her kin have plans of their own for her fortune.
With the promise to marry a mate with a suitable mind for business, Rayne and her steward, Sawyer Clover begin the week long journey to the north where they discover their loneliness is not the only thing they share. As they grow to realize their deep feelings for one another, Rayne is faced with a difficult choice; honor her father’s deathbed wish and succeed the plantation or follow her heart and face certain scrutiny with the only man who has ever cared for her.
This is another wonderful story by Grace Fisher. It can be read in one sitting. Rayne is a strong and compassionate woman. After her father's passing, she learns that she must marry quickly to keep the plantation. Without a prospect, she allows her cousins to find a husband for her. Little does she realize that love may be right in front of her. I received an ARC of this book. The choice to read and review it was all mine.
These stories are pretty much one dimensional. You always know how it's going to end up and who's with who. They have obviously not been proofread by anyone with even the most primitive grammatical skills. In every story there at least a few typos, missing words, grammatical errors and/or informational inconsistencies. So I clenched my teeth, steeled my mind, and enjoyed these stories immensly!!!
I enjoyed Crossing Borders very much but I didn't expect that 89% of the book would be added bonus . In the description of the book it said it was a 46 page book and I was expecting a fast read and I couldn't understand why the percentage wasn't going up quickly.
