Romance | Romance Historical
Deafened at a young age, her natural-born means of
expression taken from her, Amelia Anne Polley must learn to
communicate all over again. More than her ability to hear
was taken from her on the fateful day she fell ill in 1874.
Left to grow up in frontier territory, at the Colorado
Institute for the Education of Mutes, Amelia is determined
to live the life she’d dreamed for herself before becoming
deaf. Her dreams do not include becoming deaf. Her dreams do
not include becoming anyone’s mail-order bride, especially
the handsome, roughened rancher Aaron Zachery’s. Amelia has reasons enough not to marry Aaron, not the least
of which is that she and the weathered cowboy are complete
strangers. Different in ways that count, for any man and
wife, Amelia and Aaron surely won’t suit. Why, they have
nothing in common except secrets—secrets neither wants to
reveal to the other and risk what might happen. Beyond the
language of speech and sign, of reading and writing, and
informed expression, is another language, one speaking to
emotion and passion, a language far more intimate, and
oftentimes harder to learn. Only if Amelia and Aaron can
find their way out of their troubled pasts, overcoming
hardship and heartache, will they find their way to each
other, and learn to speak the same language—of love.
