Here is the book description for Hannah’s Lieutenant:

Hannah’s Handkerchief

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, Hannah Atwell knows she is pretty—and she enjoys pretty things.  She spent her life striving to be the perfect, obedient daughter of a Kansas farm family. Now she feels she is destined for something more than being a farmer’s wife living in a soddie.

At a party held at Fort Riley, Kansas, to celebrate the end of the Civil War, Hannah meets First Lieutenant Jake Burdock, who captures her heart. She impulsively offers him her handkerchief as a token of her regard. As her parents resist her involvement with the Army officer, she begins to question if always doing what she is told is to her advantage. Demands of Jake’s job and missed connections keep them apart. Only the letters they exchange keep them connected.

Hannah’s Highest Regard

Hannah stays in touch with 1st Lt. Jake Burdock through letters until they stop coming. While visiting the fort, she meets 2nd Lt. Andrew Call, aide to Fort Riley’s commander. She soon becomes intrigued by him, and he obviously intends to make her his. As Jake Burdock returns to the fort and events unfold, and Hannah makes a startling discovery. It soon become apparent some matters are not what they seem on the surface.

Will the warning from Hannah’s mother that Army officers amuse themselves with poor country girls but marry women from high society prove true? Will Hannah end up with one of the lieutenants? If so, which one?

Merry Christmas to All!

Saturday Snippet: This Woman Don't Look the Same

 The following snippet is from 

Mail Order Letitia 

by Zina Abbott 

An Impostor for Christmas, Book 9

 

          “Let’s ride to the train depot.” Stepping closer to Samuel, and his voice just as quiet, Fergus gave a single nod. Fergus then climbed into the driver’s seat of the wagon.

          Samuel shot Fergus a speculative look and climbed up onto the seat next to him. “Was there a telegram waiting?”

          “Yup.” Fergus pulled a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Samuel before he snapped the leads to get Abe and Abner, the two draft horses, moving. “Came in two days ago. You best take a look-see at the depot lobby, too.” He pursed his lips and stared straight forward.

          “It says here she’s supposed to arrive on today’s train. Is she here?” Samuel dropped the hand holding the telegram to his lap as he jerked his gaze to Fergus’s profile. “I mean, since you knew the train was already in, I assume you checked the lobby.”

          “Well, that there green shawl spoke of in the telegram is here. Ain’t so sure about the woman inside it. You take a gander and see what you think.” Working his tongue inside his cheeks, Fergus turned to stare at his boss. “That picture you showed me was of a woman with blonde hair. This one here, her hair’s dark. From what I recollect, this woman don’t look the same.”

Saturday Snippet: I'm Not Ready for This

 The following snippet is from 

Train Wreck in Jubilee Springs 

by Zina Abbott 

Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs, Collection 3

 

          “Miss Flanagan, Mrs. Millard has informed me that, because you and Mr. O’Hare are both Catholic, you are not amendable to being married by our local pastor, Mr. Alwin. I understand the priest from Pueblo does not get up this way except on the first Sunday of the month. However, I have been in communication with him by telegraph. I explained the importance of not delaying your wedding longer than necessary. In addition to getting the two of you married so you can begin your lives together, this matter also affects Mrs. Millard.”

          Kate watched as the man turned his head and focused his attention on Lizett. The woman batted her eyes and met his gaze with such an adoring look, Kate wondered if the two were involved in a romance themselves. Mr. Bainbridge appeared to regain his senses, cleared his throat, and turned to face Kate once more.

          “I am aware after working with Mrs. Millard these past months that it is her policy to escort her brides to meet their prospective grooms. When possible, she prefers to stay until after the marriages take place in order to be assured all goes well. We cannot help but admire such dedication, can we? Perhaps it is a little selfish, but I have convinced her to stay and enjoy Christmas with my brother and me here in Jubilee Springs. However, she does have obligations in Denver, and she must return to them the week following.”

          Kate grew impatient. Why did the man not get to the point? So far, none of what he said had anything to do with her.

          “You will be pleased to know—especially you, Miss Flanagan—I convinced Father O’Nalley to come up on the train the Friday before Christmas. Since he has someone who has joined him at the church in Pueblo, his congregants in that town will still be able to worship Christmas with their usual services—mass, I think you call it. I understand another train will bring him as far as safely possible next Friday. Using the railroad handcar and my sleigh, we will see to it he and a couple others intrepid enough to travel to Jubilee Springs this time of year, can safely reach town. He will offer his Christmas services up here. So, Miss Flanagan, you will not need to wait until the first Sunday of the new year to marry. You and Mr. O’Hare may celebrate Christmas with Fr. O’Nalley, and afterward, he will perform your wedding.”

          Stunned at the news, Kate felt her lips part, but no words found their way out of her mouth. She thought she had two weeks to get to know Michael well enough to become comfortable with the idea of marrying him. She hoped to fall in love with him during those two weeks. Now his boss had arranged things to cut the time in half.

          Her eyes bright with excitement, Lizett clapped her hands together. “Isn’t that wonderful, Kate? By this time next week, you’ll be married.”

          “It’s grand, sure. My thanks for going to the trouble arranging it.” Only, Kate did not feel quite as thankful at this latest development.

          I’m not ready for this.
