    About this ebook

    Accidental Love - A woman from Nebraska makes a contract to marry a cowboy in California but along the way there’s an accident with the stagecoach she’s in, and she’s the only passenger. A stranger stops by and the only means of getting out from her predicament is to go back to Colorado with him, as he’s a arranging a cattle drive back to his own home in California.

    When Jesus Is In The Hearts Of All Men - Amanda looked up at the scolding hot sun and wiped sweat from her brow with a damp handkerchief. She was in Eastern Texas and the sky was a dazzling bright blue, holding a blinding bright sun in the middle of it, sending powerful heat down onto the earth she was standing on. But, she didn’t mind the heat, for she knew every season God created had its purpose.

      Accidental Love

      Synopsis: Accidental Love - A woman from Nebraska makes a contract to marry a cowboy in California but along the way there’s an accident with the stagecoach she’s in, and she’s the only passenger. A stranger stops by and the only means of getting out from her predicament is to go back to Colorado with him, as he’s a arranging a cattle drive back to his own home in California. Along the way she realizes that she’s falling in love with him, even though she’s promised to another.

      Sarah Jackson was a slip of a girl who was as ornery as a two-year old colt. If she wasn’t stitching one of her needlepoints, she had her nose buried deep in a book when she didn’t have chores to do. She lived in those travel books more than she did in the world she grew up in and wanted to get a taste of that world before she got too old and took on a spinster’s life like her Auntie Anna.

      In her mind Sarah had traveled the world over, made even more enticing by all those wonderful writers who painted stories that just set her mind reeling, but what she liked best was reading about the Wild West. She wanted desperately to go there and find herself a cowboy, but was just shy of her twentieth birthday and Mamma wasn’t about to let her leave.

      Sarah stood about five foot four and dripping wet might have weighed a hundred and ten pounds. She had pouty lips and the most wonderful brown eyes that just up and sparkled when she smiled. Her figure was slim but had all the right curves in all the right places and her ginger colored hair wrapped like a halo around her angular face.

      Although not as pretty as those dance hall girls, Sarah had her own charm and when she smiled, the boys swooned. She didn’t see many boys though. Just occasionally at the hoedowns they had every few months. There was lots of fiddle playing and floor stomping, but there weren’t many boys that she found interesting.

      Sarah and her twin brother were the youngest of five siblings. Growing up with older brothers could be a task, but she loved them all. She didn’t like it when they hovered around her at the hoedowns and scared off any of the boys that showed an interest in her, especially her twin because he was almost too protective. There weren’t many boys her age and when they braved the scowls of one or other of her brothers, they were either dim or a boy full of braggadocio. She didn’t take a cotton to either type so she usually always just sat and tapped her toes to the music watching them all dance like fools, even her mamma.

      She loved her mamma dearly but didn’t want to live the way her mamma did. Her father died when she was young in the great Civil War and she didn’t remember much about him and her momma had been alone ever since. She had many suitors but never seemed to want any of them in her life and they didn’t stick around long. Not for lack of trying on their part, mamma was still a handsome woman and owned one of the larger farms around so they tried pretty hard.

      They were so far away from town that it was an event just to go and shop for supplies and she hardly saw any boys but the farm boys, boys Sarah wanted nothing to do with. She did notice the older men leering at her when she came into town and that made her feel uncomfortable, yet at the same time pleased that they were looking.

      Sarah had never been in love and had never been properly courted. When some brave fool rode out to their farm to ask her if he could court her, her brothers scared them off, something she never understood. Her twin brother William was the worst. He didn’t seem to want her to meet any boys and fall in love so the idea of going out west was a dream of finding romance too.

      Hurry up child, these dishes ain’t gonna wash themselves!

      Coming, Mamma. Sarah put down her needlepoint and headed to the kitchen.

      After washing the dishes, sweeping the floor and tidying up around the house, she settled down to read one of her new books. It was about a man who’d traveled to Europe and wrote about all the finery and sophistication of the people in France. He wrote about the new styles of clothes and how risqué he thought they were and how the women who danced in the show houses were such scandalous women, something you didn’t see in the states.

      She read it and her heart raced as she thought of finding a sophisticated boy and was courted by him and finally did what she’d heard so much about. Heck, she hadn’t even kissed a boy yet and knew little about the ways of love, but knew she wanted to.

      Even so, she held on to her childish dreams of someday meeting her white knight in shining armor, which made her laugh because she knew no one wore armor anymore unless it was for show. She hoped to someday meet the man of her dreams but didn’t know how she’d do that stuck out on the farm. She began trying to figure out ways to get out west and meet that man, but she had no idea how and wasn’t yet old enough to just up and leave.

      She’d miss mamma and her brothers but wanted to be the love of some lucky man’s dreams before she pined away and became that old maid, or settled for some farm boy and lived her life getting pregnant and raising babies. She had nothing against babies and in fact wanted a parcel full of young ones running around her house. She just didn’t want it here and have her life frittered away with a dumb farmer.

      Living on a farm was boring, monotonous, and tedious. There wasn’t much to do except feed the chickens, collect their eggs, tend to their garden and do her chores. Four times a year it got crazy when
