    About this ebook

    Can a young Italian widow win the love of a Nordic cowboy in time to save the only thing she loves?

    1892 - Heading to South Dakota Passionate and stubborn, Italian-born Giovanna from Calabria is beautiful, committed to her family, and honest to a fault. Newly widowed, Giovanna must find a way to help her sick daughter, Rosa, before she loses the only one she loves.

    Hard-working, reserved and practical, Laars has broken with his Norwegian family to start his own claim in South Dakota. While Laars may think he can do it alone with his cool demeanor and devoted work ethic, in his heart he knows he needs and wants a wife. But is he ready for the sacrifices it takes to lead a ready-made family?

    How will Giovanna and Laars be able to forge a life together if they are more devoted to their own needs than to each other? 

    You will love the Sweet Land of Liberty Brides series, because your heart will be uplifted by reading of the joys, sorrow and love of the people who left their home countries behind to form the strength of a nation on the Western plains. Find out what happens to Giovanna, Laars, the Pavente's and the rest of the brides who will join them in Springvale!

    Lorena Dove

    Lorena Dove has been reading and dreaming about living during the great westward migration since she was a young child growing up in New York and then Virginia. A descendent of Italian and German immigrants, she enjoys the interplay of cultures and passing down of traditions, recipes and family values to her children and grandchildren. Lorena raised four children in a modernized 1880s log cabin for 10 years in West Virginia. The seasons of nature, the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the simple enjoyment of gardening, reading and quilting have been her passions. She lives with her husband, a retired Marine Corps colonel, and sons in Virginia. She collaborates on books with her daughter, whose passion for historical fiction exceeds her own, and is waiting for her granddaughters to fit into their mother’s dress-up hoopskirts and bonnets.
