#4 of the SMYTHESHIRE Series -- WOW

I was wondering what the next ability was and who would display it.We now learn more of Emily Sayer's life and what lead up to her becoming an outcast from her family. What a feud.Josh learns from his mother who his father is and Ryder Gerard asks Emily, a second time, to marry him.Emily, who has supported herself and Josh for sixteen years and is thirty three, is hard headed and independant. [Oh, these dumb women] but it makes the story work.She does not have any love for the Gerard family but soon finds out that she at least owes them some gratitude. [puts her nose out of joint] Josh is immediately taken with his uncle and wants his mother to try to get along with his fathers' relations.She is surprised to find out that grandpa and great-grandpa do not have any special powers but boy, wait until Josh get into trouble, a life threatening situation. Boy, was I surprised at Ryder's thoughts of the situation. Fantastic story!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- of course Emily marries Ryder for Josh's sake and Josh is in for a surprise on learning a few facts that Ryder knew about her when she was younger.
