Will their love come at a cost?
Escaping Boston to avoid a marriage of convenience aimed at garnering society’s respect for her family name in the shadow of her father’s war profiteering, Meg Underwood settles in Spruce Hill, Oregon. Despite leaving behind the comforts of wealth, she’s happy. Then the handsome Pinkerton agent, Reuben Jessop, arrives with news that she’s inherited her aunt’s significant estate, and she must return home to claim the bequest. Meg refuses to make the trip. Unwilling to fail at his mission, Reuben gives her until Christmas to prove why she should remain in Spruce Hill and give up the opportunity to become a woman of means. When he seems to want more than friendship, she wonders if her new-found wealth is the basis of his attraction.
Click here to get your copy!"Legacy of Love" by Linda Shenton Matchett is a good book that can be read easily in one setting. I really admire Meg for leaving when her family tries to force her into a marriage that she didn't want. I really like how Reuben tries to understand why she refuses to go back to Boston instead of trying to focus her to return. This is a book that clearly shows wealth doesn't make a person happy.

More from Linda
Dear Reader:
Have you ever dreamed of winning the lottery?
Last year, that happened to someone at work. Not millions, but a significant amount of money. As a result, she immediately cut her hours to part-time and began to do things she hadn’t been able to. Her good fortune prompted a lot of conversations among my colleagues about what they would do if they came into a large sum of money.
Those discussions inspired the plotline for Legacy of Love,but instead of winning the lottery my main character comes into a large inheritance. As a result, everyone treats her differently and weighs in on what she should do. Her friendships are affected, and her life is turned upside down. She was happy before the inheritance, however the money would allow her to perform acts of kindness. But at what cost?
I hope you enjoy Hannah’s story.
Blessings,
Linda Shenton Matchett
