Refining Fire

Twenty-two-year-old Militine Scott is in training at the Madison Bridal School in Seattle, yet she has no intention of pursuing marriage. What respectable man would have her? But she has found the school provides the perfect opportunity to keep her unsavory past hidden.

Thane Patton, though fun-loving and fiercely loyal to his friends, hides a dark secret, as well. He finds himself drawn to Militine, sensing that she harbors a haunting pain similar to his own.

Will they allow God to make something new and beautiful from the debris of their past?

"REFINING FIRE" is historic suspenseful romance in a 1889 Seattle, Washington harbor setting. The story centers around 4 main characters, Militine Scott, Abrianna Cunningham, Thane Patton and Wade. The story line is a Bridal school where girls can come to be trained in the ways of housekeeping. Then prospective suitors pay to go to receptions put on by these girls and learn to know them and hopefully find a wife. A different way of life from today. I enjoyed reading this book and learning the history of this time period.
