Wildwood Flower: Appalachian Historical Series (Mountain Wives Book 1)

Wildwood Flower
Mountain Wives Series: Book One

Alma Daniels is now the oldest maid on the mountain, because her youngest sister Nadine has been caught trysting with her sister's brother-in-law. Caretaker for the family and her ailing Ma, Alma despairs of ever having a husband and a home of her own. For she met the love of her life when she was just a little girl, and nothing has changed to move the dark eyed boy from her heart, or to make him acceptable to Pa and her family.

Gabriel Bridger has been enchanted with sweet Alma since they first met. Even though he knows as a Melungeon he is not welcome, he comes with his parents and the rest of the mountain community to the shotgun wedding for Nadine. In the dark, dancing to the wild music, he sweeps Alma away to share a passionate kiss.

Cursed with terrifying visions of his future, Gabe is still ready to leave the mountains for the gold fields of California. Can Alma persuade him to take her along? Will this sweet couple ever find true, abiding love?
