The Dangers 0f Love (Hero Hearts; Marrying A Marshal Book 2)
Page 11
This wasn’t the life Ella had grown up to live. If she’d followed the wishes of her family, she might have fallen prey to the law or possibly to a stray bullet, but it was the life she was living, and she loved it.
The only thing truly lacking for her was that special someone. Her heart beat faster at the mere thought, but that wasn’t something she could plan. Unlike Missy, she wasn’t willing to auction herself off to the first man. She cringed; it sounded uncharitable to her dear friend. It was just the fact that she had dreams of marrying for love, whereas most women she’d met on her lonely journey had dreams of stability.
She’d had stability as the daughter of a criminal. No, what she wanted was true affection, and she was willing to wait for it—or forego it all together, should the Lord will. Either way, she was just happy to be free from her family and working an honest job for her survival.
God was good; that was for certain.

About Author - Natalie Dean
Born and raised in a small coastal town in the south I realized at a young age that I was more adventurous than my conservative friends and family. I loved to travel. My passion for travel opened up a whole new world and new cultures to me that I will always be grateful for.
I was raised to treasure family. I always knew that at some point in my life I would leave my storybook life behind and become someone's mother, someone's aunt and hopefully someone's grandmother. Little did I know that the birth of my son later in life would make me the happiest I’ve ever been. He will always be my biggest achievement. The strong desire to be a work-from-home mom is what lead me down this path of publishing books.
While I have always loved reading I never realized how much I would love writing until I started. I feel like each one of my books have been influenced by someone or something I’ve experienced in my life. To be able to share this gift has become a dream come true.
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed creating them. I truly hope to develop an ongoing relationship with all of my readers that lasts into my last days :)
PS
Though my name is Eveline Hart and I initially started writing under that name, I decided to use the pen name Natalie Dean.
Why did I do that?
I wanted to do testing with my various styles of writing, to see what you readers like the most! Well, I guess I ended up going crazy with the books under the Natalie Dean pen name and now that I’ve developed such a following for Natalie Dean, I’m just going to stick with it : )
