Plot Summary of The Tenderfoot Bride
"Widowed, pregnant and homeless, Linnean McConaughy thought she found happiness in a job as a cook and housekeeper on a Colorado ranch. However, to her employer, Will Tucker, she's simply not suited for the grueling work the job requires, even less so when he discovers she's pregnant. As Linnean proves herself time and time again he realizes he doesn't want to live without her and her child, but can Linnean see past Will's rough exterior and her own fear to the ranchers' tenderness and love for her?
As these characters work to overcome their fears, troubles and forget their haunting pasts the reader is gently immersed into the budding romance of two unlikely lovers.
