Denial of the Resistant Bride (Three Brides of Haines Press #2)

It is 1923. It is the period that brought us Time Magazine, Yankee's Stadium, and in a publishing house in Haines, Kansas, three women find love in the most unexpected ways.

DAMAGED, LOST, BROKEN . . .
These are the words that described Clara's current state of life. . .

Clara Cain, a woman scorned, has been publishing under the false name C.C. Reed for years; knowing that America is not ready for a woman crime writer. Her mystery novels have brought Clara fortune, never did she imagine that a simple letter to a fan - a fan that was actually her best friend, would spark so many questions.

Joe Dawson wrote to C.C. Reed once, but when debates with Clara bring MORE questions, Joe finds himself more intrigued than ever about the mysterious C.C. Reed. Soon, the letters part Joe's interest enough to make anxious to meet her. Maybe this C.C. Reed will finally win his heart. Then Joe wouldn't have to pine over the woman he's always wanted, but could never have. Clara.

Caught in the middle, Clara isn't sure what she should do. She can't be C.C. Reed and Clara at the same time!

Clara doesn't need love.
She doesn't want to lose Joe either.
Joe on the other hand wanted to move on with his life without Clara.

Joe’s greener eyes began to glisten. “I love you so much, Clara. But unless you’re ready to take us more seriously, I need space.”
“Why?”
“Because, I need to get over you.”
Clara’s hands tighten on his lapel. “No, I don’t want you to.”
He held out his hand. “I need time, Clara.”
“How much time?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know. A month.”
She crossed her arms; her face hardened. “It’s only going to take you a month to get over me?”
“No, it will take longer than a month to get over you. Maybe I’ll never get over you.”

Her sad past is slowly destroying her- causing her to mistrust ALL men; including Joe, who'd never shown her anything but kindness.
When secrets are revealed, only God knows what's in stored for Clara and Joe's future.

Will Clara finally find the strength to move past her fears and into Joe's loving arms?
How long will Joe continue to wait for a woman who never seems to change?

. . . "In the city of Haines, anything and everything is a possibility. " . . .
