The Sailor and the Southern Belle
(2019)(The sixth book in the Sailors and Saints series)
A Novella by Annie Boone
Tragedy ends a hopeful and happy future while a young man of the docks gets a second chance.
Brewster Doyle is a hardworking man, but his contract at the docks is over. He came from Ireland to America in search of a bright future and the dream hasn’t quite panned out. Now an opportunity has come in the form of a school where former sailors can learn new skills and be set up to succeed. As a man of modest means and physical scars proving the emotional ones, Brewster can only hope this is his second chance.
Rosalie Markham fled her home in Virginia to escape a marriage she didn’t want. She was sure going west to marry Billy James Ricketts – the wealthy man she knew only through letters – was her path to happiness and security. Arriving in Cheyenne, Rosalie’s joy was soon replaced by sadness and fear. In a matter of weeks her life had gone from desperation to promise and back to desperation.
When Brewster and Rosalie meet, there’s immediate attraction. Then the obstacles start piling up. One by one, Brewster finds issues that make Rosalie unattainable. The rift between them is so wide, neither believes it can be mended. But isn’t the west a place of second chances? Can the ocean heal wounds and make a sailor whole again?
Genre: Inspirational
