Romance and much more!

Author Tracie Peterson begins her new  series, Lone Star Brides, with the novel entitled A Sensible Arrangement.  Marty Olson is so determined to leave Texas  behind ,  along with all the painful memories of the death of her husband,  that she accepts the offer of marriage to complete stranger Jake Wythe and moves  to Denver, Colorado.  Jake also has painful memories of his deceased spouse  but, unlike Marty, he has maintained his walk of faith.  His faith and that of the household force Marty to revisit her own walk and this, in turn, affects all of her relationships especially with Jake.  In the 1890s Jake and Marty live among the wealthy of Denver and when that life is shaken by a collapsing economy, both Marty and Jake must change their relationship to each other as they come to depend on their faith to get them through troubled  times.
