About Mrs. Mike

A classic tale that has enchanted millions of readers worldwide, Mrs. Mike brings the fierce, stunning landscape of the Great North to life—and masterfully evokes the tender, touching moments that bring a man and a woman together forever. Mrs. Mike is the love story of **Katherine Mary O'Fallon**, a young Irish girl from Boston, and **Sergeant Mike Flannigan** of the ***Canadian Mounted Police, who is priest, doctor and magistrate*** to all in the great **Canadian wilderness** area under his supervision. Recently arrived in Calgary, Alberta after a long, hard journey from Boston, sixteen-year-old Katherine Mary O’Fallon never imagined that she could lose her heart so easily—or so completely. Standing over six feet tall, with “eyes so blue you could swim in them,” Mike Flannigan is a well-respected sergeant in the Canadian Mounted Police—and a man of great courage, kindness, and humor. Together, he and his beloved Kathy manage to live a good, honest life in this harsh, unforgiving land—and find strength in a love as beautiful and compelling as the wilderness around them… ***''A love story as tender and romantic as any you will ever read.''--Literary Guild***
