A classic Western romance from beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller.

In the wilderness of 1880s Oregon, beautiful Tess Bishop was captivated by the most fascinating stranger ever to drift into her small lumber town--a man as handsome and cultured as he was mysterious.

Soon she discovered he was really Keith Corbin--torn by a terrible grief, fleeing his memories and the rich privilege of his former life. Bravely, Tess helped him hide his identity, and willingly, she joined him on his flight. She vowed to make him forget the sorrow that kept him on the run...and free his soul at last for the sweet fullness of her love!

The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a spacious property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher's Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 MIRA Books hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
Dedicated to helping others, “The First Lady of the West” personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.

I enjoyed this story but had serious issues with the "best friend", Emma. My goodness she was completely selfish! Her lie caused her mother to shoot Keith and almost kill him but oh, all is forgiven. Ridiculous! That was my biggest annoyance with this book.

Other than that, a good read.

This is part of the Corbin series. Keith Cobin in his grief after losing his wife on their wedding day, leaves his profession as a preacher and becomes a peddler by the name of Joel Shiloh. As he reaches close to the town of Simpkinsville, Tess Bishop comes across him. To her, he is the most fascinating, handsome, cultured stranger she has ever seen. From there on their lives will never be the same. A pretty good read.

Fantastic

This book was filled with outrageous drama. It had a few damaging attacks that required doctors and a lot of good old fashioned love. Enjoyed it very much.

Classic Linda Lael Miller. I was surprised I had already read the other books in this series as I have no real memory of them and the places and events in this novel did not bring them to mind. So, this is very much a stand alone book. It is in no way necessary to read the other books first.

I find it difficult to review this book without revealing outcomes, so I apologize for its vagueness.

Miller's characters tend to be outrageous and act as though that is the normal order of things. Tess Bishop does not disappoint. She sees things one way and moves forward to make it real.

She is devoted to her family, no matter their faults. And their faults cause her tremendous grief.

She is also devoted to her photography. I particularly liked the way she started her photography business with utterly no knowledge of developing photos and so she blithely and successfully used a manual to learn.

The key to the novel, of course, is her tempestuous relationship with Keith Corbin. Every conceivable disaster is thrown in to keep them apart. And, as should be no surprise to Miller fans, family leads the way.

Miller's book is loaded with characters, yet she deftly introduces each new set and keeps them straight for the reader.

This one was a bit different than the other two Corbin books. Adam and Jeff could be a bit more harsh and complicated. I loved Keith's softer heart and tender ways with his bride. I really enjoyed Tess's character and how strong and assertive she is. She also seems to have a lot of class, which I loved as well. Overall, Adam's was probably my favorite in the Corbin men series.
