From USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins comes a new novel in a mesmerizing series set in the Old West, where an arranged marriage becomes a grand passion . . . What kind of mail-order bride greets her intended with a bullet instead of a kiss? One like Regan Carmichael—an independent spirit equally at home in denims and dresses. Shooting Dr. Colton Lee in the shoulder is an honest error, but soon Regan wonders if her entire plan to marry a man she’s never met is a mistake. Colton, who buried his heart along with his first wife, insists he only wants someone to care for his daughter. Yet Regan is drawn to the unmistakable desire in his gaze. Regan’s far from the docile bride Colton was expecting. Still, few women would brave the wilds of Wyoming Territory for an uncertain future with a widower and his child. The thought of having a bold, forthright woman like Regan in his life—and in his arms—begins to inspire a new dream. And despite his family’s disapproval and an unseen enemy, he’ll risk all to make this match a real union of body and soul.
You have listed many books I had not heard of as well as several I have been interested in. I came to the romance genre late, in my 50's. My introduction was Julie Garwood's historical books. They tend to be my comfort reads. RANSOM is my favorite. THE WEDDING, THE BRIDE, THE SECRET, SAVING GRACE, and THE PRIZE have all been repeat reads over the years. Two of Kat Martin's historicals are also repeat reads. I have many books on my keeper shelf (more like a room) is full of books I loved and really would love to read again. Time is just not my friend. There are so many new books out there to explore. Even self- isolating isn't helping me get more read. (Patricia Barraclough 1:16am March 25, 2020)
A good romance with mystery, suspense, humor, angst, an undeniable chemistry between characters and an HEA. (Tracy Urschler 9:09am March 25, 2020)
