About the book:
Finn O’Neill longs for
his own ranch, his own horses, his own home and family but thought the lofty
dream beyond him. Now the opportunity has arisen but to achieve his dream, he
bargains with Grandpa McClintock and his nephew to pose as a miner and seek out
the person or persons causing disasters at the Farland Coal Mine.
Stella Clayton has
witnessed the heartbreak and tragedy of a coal miner’s life. Her family came
from England to the promise of a better life only to find the same hardships.
She is determined that her young brother will never follow in their father’s

She fights to resist charms of the handsome Irishman who’s recently come to
work in Lignite, Texas.
When Finn arrives in
Lignite, he immediately falls for the beautiful schoolteacher, Stella Clayton.
But her father is one of the men suspected of causing destruction. What Finn
discovers soon puts him and members of the Clayton family in peril. Can he salvage
his dream, fulfill his promise, and protect the woman he loves and her family?

The review --
This book is the
sequel to The Texan's Irish Bride, and is a fine continuation of the series.
Caroline Clemmons is an excellent writer and I thoroughly enjoy her books. I'd
be ready to review her books any time. This book continues, and tells the
romance/adventure/mystery story of the Irish bride's brother. It's a wonderful
book that has romance and adventure and mystery. I highly recommend both this
writer and this series.
