Silent Light, Silent Love: Western Prairie Brides
About this ebook
Betsy knows the spinster option is the only one for her. She's deaf, and hearing men live in a different world. One man has proven how cruel and terrifying they can be to her.
Also, wives simply don't have careers--they cook, clean, and raise children. How could she possibly find the time to pursue a career?
Sergeant James Macleod of the North West Mounted has a troubling secret. Leaving his native Scotland was a painful and life-changing choice, and he feels he can't return. He's determined to make a new life on the Canadian prairies.
He'd like a wife and a family, but eligible women are scarce, and he's an educated man.
He's just doing his job when he meets Betsy, but he sees his future in a new light. He wants her to be his bride. But James must honour his commitment: to keep the peace on the wild Canadian prairie, even though it takes him far away from Betsy and endangers his life.
Injured and without hope, he finds the most unlikely friend, who helps him bring peace to his troubled soul, but it takes time.
Will Betsy wait for him? Can he win her trust and her love?

About the author
Best-selling writer Bobby Hutchinson writes stories about almost everything, as long as everything involves romance, quirky people, outrageous kids, deafness, time travel, or medicine, with most of which she's familiar.
(Well, maybe not time travel. But who knows?)
She lives in a funky little cottage in Cranbrook, B.C., a small city in the Canadian Rockies. In the summer, she hauls her very small travel trailer, Calamity Jane, to campgrounds. In the winter, she hibernates.
She faints at the sight of blood, although her best-selling medical romance series, Emergency, does have the occasional scene involving bodily fluids.
She's written over 60 books, mostly romance, with a few memoirs tossed in. How Not To Run A B&B, set in Vancouver, was chosen by the Kootenay Library Association as Best Book of the Year, and is now being made into a film.
She lives in the land of possibility. And she's now writing faster than ever, because at 83, who knows when she'll head off to seek the Great Perhaps?
