The Valley Between Us - Book Two

The Valley Between Us, Book Two, is the continuing saga of Heath McKrell and Lily Spencer and their families, set in the pristine lakes and rolling valleys of Western New York State during the nineteenth century. Young Heath strives to protect his sister, Colleen, from their troubled beginnings. Tragedy abruptly strikes his family, leaving him embittered and inciting him to be fiercely protective--not only of those he loves, but of his own heart.
Destiny steps in, reconnecting him with the spirited Lily Spencer, igniting a deep, yet unspoken passion that slowly begins to unfold between them.
Meanwhile, Lily becomes involved in the women's suffragist movement, a cause she cares deeply about--though it is a decision fraught with devastating consequences. She, too, remains haunted by past trauma, further complicated by the recent upheaval of her expanding family, including a stepbrother who is determined to have her for his own.
As Heath and Lily work together to restore peace and harmony to their families, they find themselves on a perilous journey that nearly costs them their lives. Unexpected emotions surface throughout their alliance, though they persist in disregarding their true feelings for one another.
As the year 1848 comes to a close, a pivotal New Year's Eve ball becomes the backdrop for a heartfelt confession. Will it come in time, or will it be an opportunity lost, forever altering the trajectory of their futures.
