Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it. After her husband died, Violet swore off lackluster men and a dull life. She wished for someone to put a sparkle in her eyes and excitement in her life. Orrin Wilde wished he d never chosen the lure of the gold mines over the love of his life. But his sins are coming back, screaming for payment. Four bandits stalk Orrin and finally catch up with him outside of Guthrie. Injured in the chase, he rides down Main Street and crawls up on the porch of the last house in town. Violet finds him bleeding and unconscious. If she had been doing the shooting, Orrin would be graveyard-dead. Eight years before he ruined her reputation; now, he was ruining it again. Orrin still loves Violet, but she refuses to trust him. Will they ever find forgiveness in their hearts for past mistakes and go on to a love-filled future?

Have you ever killed an African violet? Kent and Joyce Stork killed their first violet too! They soon mastered the skills for growing the plant and eventually wrote for the African Violet Magazine, the official publication of the African Violet Society of America, Inc. for over ten years. Their column For Beginners explained the basic elements of growing violets in an entertaining and straightforward way that anyone could understand. Now these columns have been adapted and edited to provide even the most novice grower with a step-by-step guide, whether the goal is simply to keep violets alive or to exhibit the plants in competitive shows.
