About the Book Legacy of Love

Will their love come at a cost?

Escaping Boston to avoid a marriage of convenience aimed at garnering society’s respect for her family name in the shadow of her father’s war profiteering, Meg Underwood settles in Spruce Hill, Oregon. Despite leaving behind the comforts of wealth, she’s happy.

Then the handsome Pinkerton agent, Reuben Jessop, arrives with news that she’s inherited her aunt’s significant estate, and she must return home to claim the bequest.

Meg refuses to make the trip.

Unwilling to fail at his mission, Reuben gives her until Christmas to prove why she should remain in Spruce Hill and give up the opportunity to become a woman of means. When he seems to want more than friendship, she wonders if her newfound wealth is the basis of his attraction.

My Thoughts on Legacy of Love

This is part of a multi-author collaboration called Keepers of the Light.  I love multi-author collabs like this as they always contain so many good reads and you get more than just one novel.  I highly recommend if you’ve never read one before that you start reading them now!

Make sure to check out all the other novels in this series. 

Now for this story. 

The author is one of those who just write historical fiction so well.  She does her research.  She finds out unique things about her setting that actually fit into the time period of history and she weaves them in with ease and makes the story that much more interesting.  I love reading her books so I knew I’d love this one!

Meg is our heroine.  She is offered an estate that she has inherited but she doesn’t want to leave.  Rueben is the Pinkerton who searched her out and is bound and determined to take her back to her inheritance. 

Who will win out as the most stubborn in the end?  Is there a way they both win or will they both inevitably lose instead?
