Handpicked Husband by Winnie Griggs
Can she drive away not one, but three suitors?
Free-spirited photographer Regina Nash is ready to try. But unless she marries one of the gentlemen her grandfather has sent for her inspection, she'll lose custody of her nephew. So she must persuade them—and Adam Barr, her grandfather's envoy—that she'd make a thoroughly unsuitable wife.
Adam isn't convinced. Regina might be unconventional, but she has wit, spirit and warmth. His job was to make sure Regina chose from the men he escorted to Texas—not to marry her himself! Can they overcome the secrets in her past, and the shadows in his, to find a perfect future together?
Awarded 4.5 stars by RT Reviewer Susan Mobley (click link for full review)

Awesome! Congrats Ladies. LI rocks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Pat, Winnie, and Sandra. I'm cheering for you. And reading your books.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners! I'm a historical romance fan and loved Handpicked Husband. I was reading it while I was at the ACFW conference last year and just happened to sit in front of Winnie at a workshop. When I turned around and saw her, I squealed and proceeded to gush about her story. It's easy to see why it won.
