Emma Jane Ross, hell-bent on saving her family’s tiny FM station in Why Me, WY, thinks she’s struck gold when she hires famous DJ from LA, Bobby Ringo. Turns out, Ringo was easy to hire for a reason. Unbeknownst to Emma Jane, he’s recovering from a heartbreak and had let his drinking get out of hand. Bobby hopes Why Me is the place he can gather up his wits and his heart away from the spotlight. Emma Jane worries his boozing and big city ways won’t sit well with the folks in Why Me and wants out of the deal. But when Ringo hands out some amazingly intuitive, Biblical advice on-air, the town starts warming up to him…until he tells the local lovesick cowboys to lose in their upcoming rodeo finals. The town is in an uproar. Will the boys throw their rides, or won’t they? And how do the girls at the heart of the conflict feel about this advice? Is it romantic or foolish? Poor Emma Jane wants to kill Bobby Ringo for the controversy…but instead finds he’s stealing her heart.

“Heather Blanton is blessed with a natural storytelling ability, an ‘old soul’ wisdom, and wide expansive heart. Her characters are vividly drawn, and in the western settings where life can be hard, over quickly, and seemingly without meaning, she reveals Larger Hands holding everyone and everything together.” MARK RICHARD, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, AMC’S HELL ON WHEELS, and PEN/ERNEST HEMINGWAY AWARD WINNER I write Christian Historical Western Romance. Yes, that often entails the use of firearms in a threatening manner. Sometimes there are fistfights. There may even be politically incorrect but historically accurate language. But also, there is always an inspirational message and strong allusions (at least) to the gospel. A former journalist, I am an avid researcher and endeavor to skillfully weave truth in among fictional story lines. I love exploring the American West, especially ghost towns and museums. I have walked parts of the Oregon Trail, ridden horses through the Rockies, climbed to the top of Independence Rock, and even held an outlaw's note in my hand. I grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina on a steady diet of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and John Wayne Westerns. My most fond childhood memory is of sitting next to my daddy, munching on popcorn, and watching Lucas McCain unload that Winchester! My daddy also taught me to shoot and, trust me, I can sew buttons on with my rifle. I can be reached several different ways: http://ladiesindefiancé.com/ https://www.facebook.com/authorheathe... https://twitter.com/heatherfblanton https://www.pinterest.com/heatherfbla... I am a proud member of Western Writers of America. My novels are all Christian Western Romance because this is the genre that lets me write about strong, pioneer women and men who struggle to find God and then live out their faith in real ways. Like good old fashioned Westerns, there is always justice, a moral message, American values, lots of high adventure, unexpected plot twists, and more than a touch of suspense. Of course, romance is always a strong element in my stories because it is such a beautiful gift from God and a perfect reflection of how he loves us: sacrificially and lavishly. My stories aren’t preachy or cheesy, but I hope they are inspirational, heart-warming, realistic, illuminating, and glorifying to God.
