Pink is "not" what Eleanor Braddock ordered, but maybe it would
soften the tempered steel of a woman who came through a war--and
still had one to fight.
Plain, practical Eleanor Braddock knows she will never marry, but
with a dying soldier's last whisper, she believes her life can
still have meaning and determines to find his widow. Impoverished
and struggling to care for her ailing father, Eleanor arrives at
Belmont Mansion, home of her aunt, Adelicia Acklen, the richest
woman in America--and possibly the most demanding, as well.
Adelicia insists on finding her niece a husband, but a simple act
of kindness leads Eleanor down a far different path--building a
home for destitute widows and fatherless children from the Civil
War. While Eleanor knows her own heart, she also knows her aunt
will "never" approve of this endeavor.
Archduke Marcus Gottfried has come to Nashville from Austria in
search of a life "he" determines, instead of one determined for
him. Hiding his royal heritage, Marcus longs to combine his passion
for nature with his expertise in architecture, but his plans to
incorporate natural beauty into the design of the widows' and
children's home run contrary to Eleanor's wishes. As work on the
home draws them closer together, Marcus and Eleanor find common
ground--and a love neither of them expects. But Marcus is not the
man Adelicia has chosen for Eleanor, and even if he were, someone
who knows his secrets is about to reveal them all.
"From "USA Today" bestselling author Tamera Alexander comes a
moving historical novel about a bold young woman drawn to a group
of people forgotten by Nashville society--and to the one man with
whom she has no business falling in love."
