The Secret Admirer Romance Collection

Barbour Publishing
Declaring one’s love can be hard—even risky—especially when faced with some of life’s greatest challenges. Separated by class, time, distance, and more, some loves must remain secret until the time is right.
​
Instead, notes of affection, acts of kindness, gifts of admiration, and lots of prayer are circulated. From New England mansions to homestead hovels, love is quietly being nourished and waiting for the right time to be revealed. ​But when love can finally be boldly expressed, will it be received by love in return?
The American Heiress Brides Collection
Barbour Publishing
​Meet nine young women in America between 1866 and 1905 who have been blessed by fortunes made in
​gold, silver, industry, ranching, and banking.
But when it comes to love, each woman struggles
to find true love within a society where
“first comes money, second comes marriage.”
What kind of man can they trust with their greatest treasure—their hearts?​
