Sisters Inn Ruth G Zavitsanos

Eliza Thompson's hesitant heart and tumultuous past provide her with the determination needed to be a successful co-proprietor of the Sisters Inn with her dear friend, Abigail Draper, a widow with a half-breed son. The two women are faced with many challenging obstacles to overcome on the outskirts of Denver in 1873. Together, they find strength in one another refusing to allow their weaknesses to deter them. While seeking out a handyman for hire, Eliza and Abby come across Harold and Daniel Tanner, a wayward father-son team. Though Abby is impressed with their credentials and fair price, Eliza is hesitant, noting Daniel's undernourished appearance and odd demeanor. In just a few weeks time since arriving to work at the inn, Daniel puts on healthy weight, revealing his handsome features. His kindness and inexplicable attentiveness cause Eliza's heart to respond with a fearful, yet enjoyable flutter. For Daniel Tanner the freedom to do as he pleased with his pa by his side was all he wanted in life. Or, so he believed until the moment he caught sight of Eliza. He'd never known a woman to have such a hold on his thoughts while taking his breath away. Though attracted to one another, their pasts make Daniel and Eliza fearful of commitment. Both have their own painful secrets that get in the way of gaining one another's trust. Can Eliza open her heart, or will it cost her Abby's friendship and her beloved inn?
