To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Levi Grant has paid his debt to society and finished his prison term, but he still carries a mountain of guilt. When he tries to start over as the town blacksmith in Spencer, Texas, Levi remains on his guard - that is, until he meets a pretty and outspoken librarian. Eden has also been on her guard, her ex-fiance jilted her, - trust and integrity is hard to find in this town. As Eden begins to trust the brawny smith, especially when she learns of his love for books, Levi fears his past will undo everything.

A sweet story of historical romance, forgiveness, and hard-won second chances.
