Book description
In the American Wild West in the summer of 1880, a widow gets another
chance at love with a handsome young wanderer. Originally from an East
Coast society family, newly widowed Beatrice Gaitland is doing her best
to carry on with dignity and continue her ministry to the less fortunate
in the rugged mining camp of Tombstone in the Arizona Territory.
However, survival will be difficult due to the fact that her late
husband, Pastor Lindley Gaitland, has left all of their earthly
possessions to his brother, Allen. Handsome Luke Hughson, who rejected
taking over his family's Virginia plantation in favour of a more
pleasant career as a gambler, has been accused of a murder he didn't
commit. Luke finds himself in Tombstone, falling for a widow whom he
finds hauntingly familiar and tempting beyond words. Allen Gaitland, who
has lived in the shadow of his older brother all his life, moves to
Tombstone to take over Lindley's ministry at the Shepherd of the Hills
Church meeting tent. Allen is determined to win over the town and,
moreover, his brother's widow. Sensing he is too much like his abusive
late brother, Beatrice does her best to decline Allen's advances, while
another man gets under her skin like no one else ever has. She can't
help but long for the sensual touch of young Luke, whom she has just
met. Of course, it doesn't help matters that Luke flirts with her
mercilessly and leaves her smouldering for him. Born and reared in
Southern California, Genella deGrey longed to be your typical blonde,
tanned, surfer girl but failed miserably. Unable to sit idle without
falling asleep, she embarked upon several artistic endeavours. Make-up
and set dressing for the entertainment industry, Resort Enhancement for
The Walt Disney Company and writing sexy historical romance top the list
of her favourite activities. A consummate closet goth and amateur music
and (red) wine enthusiast, she is also a hopeless romantic awaiting the
arrival of her very own Mr Romance/Soul Mate with whom to share the rest
of her life. Come and visit her on the web at genelladegrey. com
