Book 9 in the Bachelors & Babies series
About Kendrick:
Kendrick Denham left his family farm back east, fought in
the war with Mexico, then answered gold’s call after it was discovered in
California. In late 1852, when he reached Columbia, known as “The Gem of the
Southern Mines,” he realized the easy-to-find placer gold was no longer that
easy to find. He decided he would do
better providing fresh meat to the townspeople. With extremely few women in the
region, and most of the respectable ones already married, Kendrick entertains
no ambitions for a wife and family. Then the county sheriff rides over from
Sonora. With a cryptic expression, he hands Kendrick a six-month-old baby girl.
“The mother named you as the father.”
Now her late husband’s stepson, whom she finished raising,
is of age to inherit the farm left to him by his birth father, Lydia Meyer and
her two young sons have been forced out of her home of over ten years. She
leaves Pennsylvania headed for the wild gold fields of Columbia, California.
She dreads living off the charity of her older sister who is just as
disagreeable and overbearing as their late mother had been. Warned that most of
the miners in California, many of whom left families back east to seek their
fortunes, tend to be unsettled, uncouth, and prone to drinking and gambling,
she worries it may be impossible to find a good father for her children. Even
if she weds again, will it be another loveless marriage like her first?
Then there is baby Madeline, who is cast adrift in the
world, all alone, with no one to love her. What will become of her?
KENDRICK is a stand-alone sweet American historical romance
that is part of the multi-author series, Bachelors & Babies. Under the
sub-title, “Too Old for Babies,” it is also part of the author’s own series,
