Love's Possession by Carolyn Faulkner

Priceless Love Book 2

Carolyn Faulkner returns with the second installment of her Priceless Love trilogy, Love's Possession.

Texas: 1935 Nothing in Mary Stier's genteel, impoverished life could have prepared her for this. Orphaned, penniless, and growing more desperate by the minute, Mary finds herself in rural Texas, bound to marry the author of the mail-order-bride ad to which she'd responded. Whatever fantasies Mary had had about Kit Jackson - or about any man, for that matter - are quickly shattered by his deeply annoying - and annoyingly attractive - demeanor.

Mary has made her commitment, however, and she's determined to be a good wife to him and learn to love the hard ranch life. Certainly the things he is teaching her after the lights go out at night make it a lot easier, even though she does seem to spend an inordinate amount of time turned across his knee for hard bottom warnings that he insists she needs to improve her oh-so-naughty behavior.

But the ranch is barely-sustainable, and their growing love for each other doesn't put food on the table. After ranch work, Kit is desperately trying to strike oil, with no success. Then he gets badly hurt, and it looks like everything is for naught. Can Mary's growing love for Kit change a path that looks inevitable?

Love's Possession is classic Carolyn Faulkner, just the right blend of romance, old-fashioned domestic discipline themes, light BDSM, and steamy sexual encounters.
