The displaced belle

the long version

Shane would rather pay others to care for his younger orphaned sisters. But when their latest home is burned to the ground and the woman caring for them dies, Shane decides it’s time to go home. On the way, he collects not only his two sisters but another child, a young woman beaten and left for dead, a runaway slave. . .and the promise of more! Lydia allows herself to be taken to the refuge of Shane’s home, but can Lydia trust this gambling man to help her when it seems he’s deserted his own family in the past?
