Inventions of the Heart -- Mary Connealy

After her sister's marriage, Michelle Stiles and her younger sister Jilly are left at Two Harts Ranch, owned by Zane Hart. They've so far managed to stay one step ahead of their stepfather and his devious plans. <br/><br/>Zane has his own problems, having discovered a gold mine on his property. How does he harvest it without kicking off a gold rush? Michelle, educated and trained to run her father's business, wants to manage all aspects of the mine. Zane thinks for a smart woman she can have some misguided ideas. Running that mine will be dangerous, and he doesn't want her exposed to what might occur out there.<br/><br/>But danger finds Michelle anyway when a man breaks into the house and attacks her. Able to fend him off and capture him, they realize he has ties to Michelle's stepfather. If they go to the sheriff, they'll reveal her location, but if they do nothing--their troubles have only just begun.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Mary Connealy<br><b>Publisher:</b> Bethany House Publishers<br><b>Published:</b> 07/05/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.18lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780764240164<p></p>
