Annabelle's Ring

di Debra Samms (Autore)

Open Story Shelf, 2026

He had almost nothing to his name. So where did he get the diamond ring? Annabelle Wright came west to Sawyerville hoping for a new life—and perhaps a husband—but the shy young woman never imagined romance would find her in the middle of a raging winter storm. When flooding tears through the loggers' camp, Annabelle joins the women rushing to help the injured. There she finds Justin Blackwood, a young skidder driver soaked, freezing, and barely conscious. Her quick action may save his life, and in the days that follow, neither can quite forget the other. Justin is gentle, hardworking, and devoted to his family. He also seems desperately poor. His clothes are threadbare, his boots worn through, and every dollar he earns appears to vanish almost as quickly as he receives it. Still, Annabelle begins to believe he may be the man she came west to find. Then Justin takes her into Sawyerville's Wildflower Meadow, kneels among the spring blossoms—and offers her a magnificent diamond ring. Annabelle wants desperately to say yes. But where could a penniless logger possibly have gotten such a treasure? Rumors begin to spread. Gambling. Theft. Secrets Justin refuses to explain. And suddenly Annabelle must decide whether the ring represents the future she has dreamed of—or a warning she cannot afford to ignore. In a frontier town where everyone knows everyone's business, the truth behind Annabelle's Ring may prove that the greatest measure of a man's wealth has nothing to do with the money in his pocket. A tender historical western romance about sacrifice, trust, family, and a love worth more than diamonds.
