And when Brigham wrapped her in his strong embrace, he awakened in her a white hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she would share his bed, tough, hard headed Brigham Quade would have to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love… Yet she also wanted him to kiss her until he took her breath away. ![]() Lydia’s dilike of him was both ardent and instantaneous… Only after Lydia had set sail for his family’s settlement in Washington did she learn the truth: her bridegroom wasn’t the sweet Devon Quade, but his older brother Brigham, a widower with shoulders a yard wide, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town Quade’s Harbor, and the woman he married.
