Mail order bride, Livy Green, is desperate to escape the memories of her past. John Taylor will never love another woman again, but his children need a mother. Will they learn to trust each other, or will their pasts interfere? Longing to escape the awful memories and the saloon she once sang in, Livy Green lies about her past so she can be a wife to John Taylor and mother to his two young children. Overwhelmed by the task, she struggles to put her resentment aside and love them as her own. John loved his first wife and is still heartbroken over the loss, but he needs a mother for his children. When his distant and unfriendly mail order bride arrives, he begins to doubt his decision, though one glance into Livy's terrified green eyes tells him he can't turn his back on her. As Livy's past catches up with her and suspicious accidents begin to happen on the ranch, she is tempted to come clean and tell John the truth. But will he send her back if she does? Or will they forever be CHASING CLOVERS? Reviews: "A compelling story line.

2 central characters, 1 male, 1 female.......................YES;

FAVORITE PART: Ezekiel shows up to teach her how to cook AND the bad guy at the mud hole.
LEAST FAVORITE PART:
Over written with regards to her breathing attacks and lies and her circular thoughts about her loss. Over, and over and over and over again.
