By M?elissa Jagears

Abandoned by his mail-order bride, Silas Jonesey has fought an uphill battle to recover from a pattern of poor choices. Now his prayers for reconciliation have finally come true and his estranged wife has contacted him with her whereabouts.

Kate Dawson was supposed to be a mail-order bride, but upon realizing she’d been deceived about her intended groom, she’s now settled into life as a schoolteacher. When the mother of a student passes away, Kate assumes she’ll take on care of nine-year-old Anthony—until two men suddenly show up in town, claiming to be the boy’s father.

Silas can see Anthony loves Kate, so he enlists her help in reaching out to the boy and attempting to prove his paternity to the court. When a common interest in Anthony leads to an interest in each other and Silas and Kate begin to think they can overcome their rocky start, neither is prepared for the secrets and past hurts that have yet to come to light. Can Silas, Kate, and Anthony’s wounded souls bind them together or will all that stands between them leave them lonely forever?

ISLAND BREEZES

Had Silas made a mess of his life? He couldn’t even hold onto his mail order bride. Life with Silas just wasn’t as good as Lucinda thought it should be, so she ran away. Life on her own with a small son wasn’t all it was cracked up to be either. In the end she had to depend on the kindness of others.

Then came a battle over the boy. Two men and a schoolteacher wanted custody of Anthony. It’s all too much for him, so he runs away. Now it becomes a race against time and the need to prove parentage to the judge.

When and where will they find Anthony? Does anyone really care about what a child wants?

Thank you, Ms Jagears, for this really good read. What do you have in store for us next?

Much to her introverted self’s delight, Melissa Jagears hardly needs to leave her home to be a homeschool teacher, day-care provider, church financial secretary, and historical romance novelist. She doesn’t have to leave her house to be a housekeeper either, but she’s doubtful she meets the minimum qualifications to claim to be one in her official bio. Her passion is to help Christian believers mature in their faith and judge rightly.
