Christian historical romance
The Mistress of Tall Acre
After the American Revolution, destitute Sophie Menzies lives beside the Virginia estate of returning general Seamus Ogilvy and forms a tender bond with his young daughter. The widower proposes a practical marriage that would give Sophie security and his child a mother while restoring a household damaged by war. Their cautious family begins to deepen into love, but the return of a woman from Seamus's past threatens both the marriage and the ownership of Tall Acre. Romantic and suspenseful, this novel suits readers who enjoy postwar Virginia, marriages of convenience, devoted stepmothers, plantation-estate mysteries, and fragile new beginnings endangered by secrets presumed buried.
