Rubies Are Red

di Debra Samms (Autore)

Open Story Shelf, 2026

She came to Sawyerville to escape her past. But the one treasure she refuses to surrender may bring that past roaring back. Theodora Cooper is not like the other prospective brides arriving in the rough Oregon logging town of Sawyerville. Beneath her plain new life lies a secret: she was once the daughter of a wealthy lawyer—until her father was convicted of murder, her family lost everything, and Theodora was forced into the textile mills. All she has left of him is a magnificent ruby brooch. When handsome Deputy Patrick McDonnell takes an interest in the reserved newcomer, Theodora begins to wonder if Sawyerville might finally offer the fresh start she crossed a continent to find. Patrick is kind, patient, and far too easy to fall for. But Theodora has learned the hard way that happiness can disappear in an instant. Then two dangerous men set their sights on her ruby. A confrontation on a lonely cliff leaves one man dead, the brooch missing—and Theodora accused of murder. Now the secret she traveled thousands of miles to escape is exposed, and the lawman who has captured her heart must decide whether to believe her. Can Patrick uncover the truth before Theodora loses her chance at freedom, love, and the new life she thought she would never have? Rubies Are Red is a heartwarming historical western romance filled with danger, secrets, second chances, and the promise that sometimes the most precious treasure isn't the one you can hold in your hand.
