A sweet & wholesome western romance novella

De: Meredith Williams

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A scarred recluse. A sunshine-hearted artist. A love story stitched together in silence, color, and courage.

After a mining accident left Gideon Thorne scarred and limping, he vanished into the mountains above Silver Hollow, content to live out his days alone. The townsfolk whisper of “the Beast of Bitterpine”—a man with a ruined face and a heart to match. When he sends for a housekeeper through the Barleysweet Agency, he expects someone plain and quiet… not Clementine Barlow, the red-haired artist who hums while she works and talks to wildflowers.

Clementine isn’t afraid of Gideon’s scars. In fact, she might be the first person who truly sees him.

As laughter begins to echo through the cabin halls and the walls between them slowly crumble, Gideon dares to imagine a life beyond survival. But when Clementine is offered an art apprenticeship back East, he must decide: will he let her go—or fight for the only color that’s ever touched his world?

A tender, slow-burn historical western romance with a grumpy/sunshine twist, a scarred hero, and a heroine who brings light to the darkest places.
