Description

With both her parents dead, Alice is faced with the daunting task of providing for her brother, Michael. Knowing she can't support the two of them by herself, she selflessly puts Michael's interests first and decides she will have to marry. So when Sam Kenyon, a widower with a small daughter, proposes to her, she accepts. However, this marriage of convenience has many hurdles to overcome if it is to blossom into a marriage of love, and Alice's secrets and Michael's growing rebellious streak may be too much for the relationship to bear. Can Alice summon the courage to tell Sam the truth about her past, knowing it may ruin her marriage? Set in the isolated West Coast goldmining towns of Reefton and Black's Point in the early 1880s, the Cost of Courage is the story of an exceptional young woman whose love, compassion and spirited determination to protect her brother lead her on a costly and courageous journey. Vivid, compelling characters and a fast-moving plot make this a superbly written historical romance to enjoy.
