Book Overview
In this stirring novel of the Old West from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson, a desperate woman's impulsive ruse brings a rough-looking stranger into her life... To support her orphaned niece, impoverished Brianna O'Keefe accepts work with a Colorado rancher. To guard herself from unwanted attention, she resorts to a harmless little lie- that she's married to a Denver gold miner named David Paxton. When her boss forces her to write her "husband," hoping he'll take Brianna off his hands, she can only pray that no real David Paxton exists who can expose her. When Colorado marshal David Paxton gets a letter from a stranger claiming to be his wife, and pleading with him to come for her and his "daughter," he dutifully sets out to find this woman and the child he may have sired. What stuns Brianna is that David is convinced the young girl could, in fact, be his. As David and Brianna's wary attraction blossoms into a deeper desire, David warms to the idea of a ready-made family. But can his dream survive Brianna's lingering distrust...and his own heart-held secrets?

Good story, but...

3 Stars, Good historical novel, but...
LUCKY PENNY
by Catherine Anderson
The author writes good historical novels, but I don't care for the interjected expletives throughout. In this particular novel, David, the leading male does cuss a lot, but there are vulgar sayings interspersed at unexpected times. The novel would be a perfect 5 stars without the vulgarities.
David, a confirmed bachelor received a bundle of letters from Brianna, the single mother of Daphne who works constantly to support herself and her daughter. In the letters, Brianna and Daphne beg David to come to rescue them from their poor circumstances, claiming that David is the husband and father of the two females. The only problem is David doesn't recall ever getting married or fathering a child. He determines to rectify that, so his ladies don't suffer from his neglect. #luckypenny #historicalseries
