The Husband Tree -- Mary Connealy, Paperback

From bestselling author Mary Connealy comes a spirited Western romance filled with danger, determination, and unexpected love-a tale of a fierce widow rancher, a hardworking cowboy, and the family that brings them together. Perfect for fans of historical romance and strong heroines.

Belle Tanner has buried three husbands under the "Husband Tree" and managed her Montana ranch alone while raising four daughters. When she needs help with a dangerous cattle drive, she hires Silas Harden-a man who actually knows his way around cattle and horses. Unlike her previous husbands, Silas isn't afraid of hard work, but Belle's not about to let another man take charge of her ranch or her heart.

Silas never planned on falling for a widow with four daughters, especially one as independent as Belle. But as they face treacherous mountain passes, wolf attacks, and winter storms together, he discovers that what he thought was just another job might be his chance at a real family-if he can convince Belle to trust in love one more time.

With winter closing in and dangers mounting, Belle and Silas must learn to work together and trust in God's plan. But can Belle let go of her iron control and let love lead? And can Silas prove he's different from the husbands who came before?

A heartwarming story of faith, family, and finding love in the rugged Montana Territory.
