The Claybornes are back -- and love is in bloom! First introduced in Julie Garwood s magnificent New York Times bestseller For the Roses， which inspired the Hallmark Hall of Fame television film Rose Hill， the Clayborne brothers of Blue Belle， Montana， have been embraced by millions worldwide. Now Julie Garwood spins the individual stories of these three spirited brothers -- once a mismatched gang of street urchins -- in a trio of special novels that continues with One Red Rose. Adam Clayborne has always put great stock in the power of books. As an escaped slave -- and a wanted man -- reading has been his only ticket to the wonders of distant lands. Adam is content with his life as a confirmed bachelor， which is why his Mama Rose has summoned the irresistible Genevieve Delacroix to Montana. Also a former slave， Genevieve shares his dream of seeing the world， but she arrives to find Adam unfailingly polite...and just as distant. Undaunted， Genevieve determines to teach Adam what he ll never learn from a book -- that true freedom only comes when you open your heart.
