Polka with Pauline

A woman on a mission of mercy. A craftsman with dreams of his own. When danger strikes, can love survive in Creede, Colorado?
Pauline Brubaker travels from Denver to Creede, Colorado, to care for her aunt while she recovers from a broken leg. Though Pauline expects her stay to be brief, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Creighton Reed, a talented furniture maker with a gentle spirit and creative drive. Despite her growing feelings, Pauline is hesitant—her life and family are in Denver, and her time in Creede is meant to be temporary.
Creighton is immediately captivated by Pauline when their mutual friends arrange for them to attend a Matchmaker Ball together. But just as their connection deepens, Creighton’s workshop and home are destroyed in a firebomb attack. As danger closes in, Pauline and Creighton must work together to uncover who wants him dead—and why.
Will the threat that binds them tear them apart, or will love and courage help them build a future together?
Reviews
***** “It is such a great story. I enjoyed reading of their courtship and falling in love. There is some danger and fear mixed in. A great addition to the series.” Amazon review
***** “I enjoyed this book by a favorite author. A sweet story of romance with a hero and heroine and secondary characters I could love. All except for the villain, of course, but he added a bit of suspense to the storyline which I enjoyed. Even though it has the hard-earned HEA, I was sad when it ended because I really enjoyed this whole family. ” Amazon review
