Emily has taken over the running of the station while Dale is gone. Dale will come home, but not to what he expects or even wants. These two spark off each other more than a Fourth of July party. One thing they cannot deny is the sexual awareness between them.

The Lighthorseman is by authoress Marjorie Jones. Ms. Jones has penned a memorable historical that will stay with the readers long after they close the book. Ms. Jones' voice is delicately laced with creative words and unforgettable meanings.

She brings to the readers a heartfelt story of a man who loses his brother during war; it has left him bitter and broken hearted, finding refuge in the bottom of a liquor bottle. Ms. Jones then showcases the character of Emily, who has loved Dale since she was a young girl. Their personal battles and demons will be many. Can love really conquer all? Open the book to experience their hardships and romance together in the wilds of the Australian outback in the late eighteen hundreds.

Emily might be the only hope for Dale's depression over the death of his brother and a restless soul that is not sure where it fits in anymore. She is sweet, kind, and sees life for what it can do, not for what it cannot. Yet, Emily has a strong personality and she is perfect for Dale. Now if she can just get Dale to notice her. Will she be enough woman to pull this stubborn man back into the living? Will Dale ever get past his broken heart to love again?

If you are looking for a delightful historical with threads of sexual tension and sweet passion, then you definitely should pick up your copy of The Lighthorseman by Marjorie Jones. It will fill your heart with the fondest of memories and happy-ever-after.
