"Award–winning, multi–published author Cheryl
Bolen turns her attention away from the British Isles to
craft three achingly romantic tales set in
nineteenth–century America.
THE FOUR–LEAF CLOVER

Heat index: Steamy
Norman Sterling, the wealthy mayor of Peace, Missouri,
shocks himself at his town's Fourth of July picnic by
proposing to the beautiful Mildred Gresham, a beauty he's
worshipped from afar for more than six years. Equally as
shocking is Mildred's quick acceptance. If only he were
possessed of a silver tongue, if only he could tell her how
truly he loves her.
Millie comes alive in Norman's arms, but her reticent
husband never tells her he loves her. As he grows more
distant she is tormented that he loves another. Will she
ever be able to secure her husband's love?
