Part of Series
From New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart comes a sweeping historical romance where love, loyalty, and legacy collide on the wild Idaho frontier. Laurel Valley, Idaho, 1892 Elizabeth O'Hara has been married to the town sheriff for a year, but she still feels like a stranger to the man she's loved since girlhood. Cole is kind and patient—and maddeningly distant. They share a bed, a name, and a sprawling ranch, but Elizabeth wants more than a marriage of convenience. She wants a husband who sees her as something other than a promise he made to her dying father. Cole O'Hara has spent his life running from his past. A war hero with a deadly reputation and a twin brother who chose a darker path, Cole thought he'd finally found peace in Laurel Valley. But when a vicious gang of outlaws begins cutting a bloody trail across the West, Cole realizes his past isn't done with him yet. The face on the wanted poster is one he knows all too well—because it's identical to his own. As a brutal winter storm descends on Laurel Valley, trapping the town in a deadly siege, Cole and Elizabeth must fight for their lives—and for each other. With danger closing in from all sides, they'll discover that the greatest battles aren't always fought with guns and fists. Sometimes the hardest fight is learning to trust the person standing beside you. This is where the O'Hara legacy begins—forged in snow and fire, bound by blood and honor, and sealed with a love that will echo through generations.
Author
Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers. Enjoy the Adventures!
