A Lady in Defiance
(Romance in the Rockies Book 1)

HIS TOWN. HER GOD. LET THE BATTLE
BEGIN.

Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless,
Godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters from his
beloved South show up stranded, alone, and offering to open a “nice” hotel, he
is intrigued enough to let them stay...especially since he sees feisty middle
sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi, angry with God for widowing
her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr.
McIntyre. It would seem
,
however, that God has gone to
elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is why
.
” Does God really have a plan for each and every life?
 

Written with gritty, but not gratuitous, realism
uncharacteristic of historical Christian fiction,
A Lady in Defiance
gives a nod to both
Pride and Prejudice
and
Redeeming Love
. Based
on true events, it is also an ensemble piece that deftly weaves together the
relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance.

Hearts
in Defiance
(Romance in the Rockies Book 2)

MEN MAKE
MISTAKES. GOD WILL FORGIVE THEM.
WILL THEIR WOMEN?

 
Charles McIntyre built the lawless,
Godless mining town of Defiance practically with his bare hands … and without
any remorse for the lives he destroyed along the way. Then a glimpse of true
love, both earthly and heavenly, changed him. The question is, how much? Naomi
Miller is a beautiful, decent woman. She says she loves McIntyre, that God
does, too, and the past is behind them now. But McIntyre struggles to believe
he’s worth saving … worth loving. Unfortunately, the temptations in Defiance
only reinforce his doubts.

Billy Page abandoned Hannah Frink when he discovered she was
going to have his baby … and now he can’t live with himself. Or without her.
Determined to prove his love, he leaves his family and fortune behind and
journeys to Defiance. Will Hannah take Billy back
,
or give him what he deserves for the betrayal?

Gritty and realistic, this is the story of real life and real
faith in Defiance.

drawn to Billy Page, Dale’s great

simply experiencing a gift from her Heavenly Father?

one thing for certain: God does see the tears of His children.

Grace
Be A Lady
(Book 1 - Love & War in Johnson County)

Act like a man ... Think like a lady.

 

Banished to the dusty cow town of Misery for an alleged affair,
Grace Hendrick wants nothing more than to get her son away from the clutches of

Bull has promised Grace she’ll never see their son again. She has no choice but
to accept her situation—temporarily. Struggling to figure out a way to survive,
she refuses to consider prostitution. The hamlet of Misery, however, isn’t
brimming over with jobs for respectable women. Fueled by hate and desperation,
she concocts a shocking plan to find work.
 
Thad Walker is the middle son of the oldest, most successful cattle baron in
Wyoming, and he always puts the ranch first. One chance meeting with Grace
Hendrick, though, batters his focus like a hailstorm in July. When Grace’s
brother, Greg, is hired by a local widow, Thad figures the kid is the
straightest path to Grace’s heart. As friendship and love blossom, so do the
lies. Soon deceit catches fire and threatens everything Grace and Thad hold
dear. Will love conquer all?
