EBOOK Brickmaker's Bride (Refined by Love Book #1)

In the clay-rich hills of the newly founded state of West Virginia, two families tentatively come together to rebuild a war-torn brickmaking business. Ewan McKay has immigrated to West Virginia with his aunt and uncle, promising to trade his skills in the clay business for financial help. Uncle Hugh purchases a brickmaking operation from a Civil War widow and her daughter, and it&'s Ewan&'s job to get the company up and running again. Ewan seeks help from Laura, the former owner&'s daughter, and he quickly feels a connection with her, but she&'s being courted by another man--a lawyer with far more social clout and money than Ewan. Resolving that he&'ll make the brickworks enough of a success that he can become a partner in the business and be able to afford to bring his sisters over from Ireland, Ewan pours all his energy into the new job. But when Hugh signs a bad business deal, all Ewan&'s hard work is put in jeopardy. As his hopes for the future crumble, Laura reveals something surprising. Can she help him save the brickworks, and will Ewan finally get a shot at winning her heart?
