Scandalous: An Owen Family Story

by Marsha Ward

Young Julianna Owen didn't think flirting with Parley Morgan at the barn raising would lead him to put his hands where they ought not to be. But worse yet, her sister discovers them and Parley abandons her, running off into the woods. Julianna's strict father has found where she is hiding, and her world on the Colorado frontier is crashing down around her ears. She thought love and romance was only about going on picnics and holding hands, not rough kisses and hurtful pawing. Now the consequences of her actions might be beyond what she can bear. In the 1860s Owen Family universe, "Scandalous" shines a light on teen hormones run amok during a trying time in the family's story, as it ties up a loose thread from the novel, SPINSTER'S FOLLY. This edition contains bonus material at the end, an excerpt from the Shenandoah Neighbors story, BLOODIED LEATHER.

Scandalous

Be careful what you wish for you might just get it. I love the Owen Family stories. The love of family and the adventures are made so real in Mrs. Ward's writings. Details are so vivid a reader can feel themselves there.

Playing With Fire

Don't bite off more than you can chew, as the saying goes! This is an interesting short story that connects back to the Owen Family series. It is very dramatic and intense and leaves you hungry for more. Nice work Ms Ward.
