MacPherson Brides #8
The Medicine Box: Wyoming MacPhersons
HOW LONG CAN SHE BATTLE A MAN WHO REFUSES HER LOVE?
DEATH HAS BRUTALLY TAKEN EVERY WOMAN FROM HIM.
WHICH WILL WIN—LOVE OR DEATH?
Katy Sullivan must protect her younger sisters at all cost. They’ve escaped the brutal hand of their step-uncle and took his greatest treasure. Fearing death if found, they travel west in a wagon train but are abandoned along with a sick preacher and his sisters. Rescue comes in the form of two buckskin-clad, tobacco-spitting brothers and their harsh, scar-faced companion. Their offer—come to their valley for the winter—could be very good or very, very bad.
Scarred within and without, Jacob Matthews sealed off his heart. He’s respected by the army, honored by the Indians, and known as Takota—friend to all. He fights his feelings for the feisty red-headed woman who came to his valley. Death took every woman he’s loved. Death won three times. Jacob can’t let it win a fourth.

About the author
Mischelle Creager
12 books10 followersMischelle Creager writes inspirational historical romances set in the mid-1800s. She’s not sure which she loves more—researching or writing. When she’s not doing one of those two things, she can probably be found reading or baking.
She is a wife whose wonderful husband told her, when he retired several years ago, that he wanted to support her in her writing and took over all the household chores, including sweeping, dusting, and laundry. He even cleans up for her after she bakes! Her son and daughter are always available to help with social media questions.
Mischelle loves to share her historical research and has a website, Under The Attic Eaves, filled with tidbits she’s found in books written in the 19th Century. She also “reprints” a historical magazine, Worbly’s Family Monthly Magazine, filled with items from books and magazines published in the middle of the 1800s.
