Shadow of Regret — Barbara Goss

Love is Ageless

ROSE: has loved Quinn since she first set eyes on him at age fifteen. A tragedy causes him to spiral out of control and use saloon women and drinking to forget. She knows she can save him by tricking him into marrying her. QUINN: misfortune leaves him grieving. He turns away from family and friends and good, clean Christian living. Rose's trick works, but there would be consequences to pay because he refuses to consummate the marriage.
