Tears seeped out of the corner of her eyes. “I ken I have a broken leg, Frederick. I ken I’ll be a cripple the rest of my life.” She swallowed a sob. “I dinna want that.” Until this moment, they had always snarled and circled around each other when they met at his grandparents’ café or at a town dance.
He leaned forward and swiped at her cheeks, meeting her startled gaze at his tender touch. “You will not die. You will not be crippled. You are strong and determined and as irascible as anyone I’ve ever met.” He looked deeply into her eyes. “You will fight.”
She nodded and then flushed. “Dinna tell them I was so weak, aye?”
He smiled. “Never.” He looked to his horse and then at Sorcha. “I can’t get you to the ranch with a broken leg on my horse.” He pulled off his long jacket and covered her and then tugged the bandanna from around his neck, tying it to help staunch the bleeding at the back of her head. “I have to leave you to get help.”
Her eyes were frantic before she closed them and nodded. “Aye, I understand.” She opened them as she felt him place a revolver in one of her hands.
“I hope you have a basic understanding of how to use this.” At her nod, he squeezed her arm. “I’ll return as soon as I can, and I’ll call out, so you will know it’s me.”
“Hurry,” she whispered.
He leaned forward and kissed her on her forehead. “Fight, Sorcha.” He rose, grabbed his horse’s reins and was off before she could react to his impetuous action.

Afterword
Hi!
Thank you for reading Leena and Karl’s story! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I loved researching Norwegian Christmas customs and finding their way to happily ever after. You’ll read much more about the harsh winter of 1886/87 in Sorcha and Frederick’s upcoming novel!
During my research, I found that spebarn meant baby or infant while spedbarn meant infants or babies. I hope this is correct and know that any Norwegian errors are mine.
As for the Bear Grass Springs Series, there are many more books to come! Sorcha and Frederick’s novel will be available in January 2019, Bears and Fidelia’s will be available in March 2019 with many more after that! Thank you for joining me in this adventure.

Happy Reading,
Ramona
About the Author
Ramona is a historical romance author who loves to immerse herself in research as much as she loves writing. A native of Montana, every day she marvels that she gets to live in such a beautiful place. When she’s not writing, her favorite pastimes are fly fishing the cool clear streams of a Montana river, hiking in the mountains, and spending time with family and friends.
Ramona’s heroines are strong, resilient women, the type of women you’d love to have as your best friend. Her heroes are loyal and honorable, of men you’d love to meet or bring home to introduce to your family for Sunday dinner. She hopes her stories bring the past alive and allow you to forget the outside world for a while.
