The Lady of Red River Valley

About the book

By 1815, Arran MacLean has spent three years working on building the Red River Colony near Lake Winnipeg. Year after year, the colonists have faced challenges from disease, hunger, and their enemies, the North West Company. He is grateful that Lady Eleanor Brooke, the woman he loved, had the wisdom to decline his marriage proposal. However, her rejection still lingers in his memories.

Lady Eleanor Brooke has one regret - turning down Arran's proposal four years ago. At that time, her father's financial troubles required her to seek a wealthy match. Now, with her father in prison and a scandal looming over her, Eleanor decides to travel to the Red River Colony as a teacher, hoping to rekindle her connection with Arran. Yet, she soon realizes that her decision to come to the North American Wilderness may have been a mistake.

Life in the colony proves to be challenging and heart-wrenching, and Arran is determined to protect Eleanor from harm. Despite his plans to send her back to England in the spring, their intentions are derailed when they are ambushed by their adversaries, facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. In the face of adversity, will they find the strength to defend the Red River Colony and fight for each other?
