When rescue comes in the form of three Kentucky hillbilly brothers—two of them mute—she reluctantly accepts. When they hire her to paint a dilapidated nineteenth-century hotel in middle-of-nowhere Prairie Creek, Nebraska, she expects nothing more than a few days’ work and a meager paycheck. Instead, as the days turn into weeks, she discovers the true renovation is taking place within the brothers—and herself. Initially drawn in by the men’s unexpected kindness and droll humor, she remains puzzled with their reticent and reclusive natures until she finds hints of an unresolved traumatic childhood. When shocking revelations about their family entwines with her own background, Jane questions all she knew about her parents’ lives…and her own. Soon she must decide if digging for answers is worth tormenting the men who befriended her. The Marvels of Prairie Creek is the first installment in a romantic women’s fiction serial featuring the most off-the-wall leading man you’ll ever meet. If you like slow-burn romances, wry-humored men with mysterious pasts, and true-to-life characters, then you’ll love Lynne Mickley’s witty tale of life in a small Nebraska town. |

She longs for her happily-ever-after: a proposal by her boyfriend, a big raise at the perfect job, and a fat inheritance from her great-aunt. Instead, she finds herself alone, broke, and sorting through a storage unit filled with worthless junk. But life can change in an instant. When Elly opens a decade-old envelope addressed to her, she discovers it contains an astonishing monetary gift. Elly’s prospects soar. Then she learns she can’t cash the long-expired check. What’s more, she’s never heard of her benefactor: a woman who claims the money is honoring a long-ago favor by Elly’s grandmother. Hoping to alleviate her financial straits and find a connection to her long-deceased family, Elly embarks on a search for the mystery woman. Trouble is, she doesn’t know if chasing this particular rainbow will result in a pot of gold–or yet another crushing disappointment. |
