A Summer of Roses (The Cables Series)

For most of his life, Mason Cable put the will of others above his own. He accepted his father's gift of land and cattle because it was expected he would help carry on the family legacy, so he buried his dream of attending college and becoming a published poet. Most of his desires were hidden, his secrets only shared with his white horse, Calypso, but he prayed that one day he could have a family of his own built on the foundation of love.

When he met Willadeene Ogden, he wasn't expecting her to propose marriage to him. He was determined to put her outrageous idea out of his mind until he discovered he could have been responsible for her past fiance's death. Burying his last desire, the one where he would have a wife he loved, Mason agreed to the marriage out of obligation. As they entered the covenant between themselves and God, their expectations were challenged. When they realized they could not rely on themselves to find solutions to their problems, they learned to put God first in their relationship.
