Three Times Blessed by Lori Copeland This is the 2nd book in the Belles of Timber Creek Series. I can hardly wait to read the next one. Schoolteacher Audrey Pride is trapped in Thunder Ridge, Texas. The typically dry-a-bone small town is deluged, preventing travel - and a stranded wagon train is plagued with sickness. Caring for the sick and fighting the storm doesn't dampen Audrey's attraction to widower Eli Gray. After losing his wife while he was away at war, Eli has never forgiven himself. But as the town sags under the weight of water and illness, Eli and Audrey come to rely on each other in ways they never thought possible. Will Audrey ever convince Eli that he deserves more than a solitary existence?
