The Right Wife

In a
sweeping and vibrant novel set in the post-war South, New York Times
bestselling author Beverly Barton follows one young woman's journey to love and
independence…

1885

All of Margaret Campbell's hopes for the
future lie in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Since the death of her sharecropper father,
eighteen-year-old Maggie has no resources and few allies, aside from the
relatives who've agreed to take her in. With luck, she might yet make an
upright gentleman of her brother, and a real lady of her rebellious little
sister. And perhaps, once her siblings are settled, she'll find a decent,
hardworking man to marry. But those plans are jeopardized the moment she meets
Aaron Stone.

Effortlessly charming, Aaron is building an
empire in the South. Maggie knows he wants the right kind of wife to overcome
the shadows surrounding his birth--someone like the well-connected widow he's
been courting. Someone a million miles from a penniless, outspoken
sharecropper's daughter. But neither jealousy, family secrets, nor long-held
prejudices will keep Maggie from following her heart. . .
