Love shows up when it’s least expected. From USA Today Bestselling sweet romance author Jennifer Beckstrand comes a sweeping story of revenge, romance, and redemption in the Old West. Foreman Riley Garrett doesn’t suffer fools, works harder than any other cowboy on the ranch, and will horsewhip any man who mistreats a woman. So he’s shocked and furious when Rachel Whitcomb appears on his Colorado ranch badly beaten and desperate for protection. Though Riley is suspicious of the beautiful stranger, he takes her in and gives her a job. He tries to guard his heart but falls hard and fast for Rachel’s courage, beauty, and gentle spirit—not to mention her horrible cooking and her tendency to disobey the foreman’s orders. When Rachel’s past catches up with her, will Riley be able to protect the woman he loves, or will her secrets tear them apart? “Jen is so good at creating characters that are distinctive and likeable and just fun to spend time with. I can recommend this book to anyone. Even if you don't like romances or westerns or clean-romance-westerns, this book is just fun to read. Make some peppermint tea, put a movie on for the kids, and slowly melt into the world or Rachel and Riley.” Amazon review of Rachel and Riley “I laughed, cried, swooned, fumed, swooned again and everything in between! This book was delightful and delicious perfection!! 1 billion stars!” Amazon review of Rachel and Riley “In Jessie and James, Beckstrand once again proves what a talented author she is – and that she was made for writing westerns as well as her usual Amish fiction. Seamlessly weaving wit and emotion alongside a bit of adventure and meaningful insight, the author also introduces multi-dimensional characters that I hope we see again! You’ll laugh and swoon, for sure, and you may even get a bit tearful as you devour Jessie and James from start to finish.” Reading Is My Superpower blog review of Jessie and James
