-RT Book Review on Turner’s Woman
With him, she found the courage to break free
Jake Turner could have left the sole survivor of a Crow massacre to die at the hands of her captors. Instead, he bargained for her life. He can't explain what he feels when he looks at her but knows it jeopardizes his secret mission. Now, he's saddled with unwanted baggage, or so he thinks! But Emma Lancing is full of surprises. As bold and quick-witted as she is beautiful, she soon rouses his admiration and ardor as, day-by-day, she turns from a liability to the ideal partner.
At first, Emma wants only to escape a bleak future under her abusive father's boot-heel. She'll risk everything to evade his tyranny and vows to never again be ruled by a man. But journeying with Jake makes her long to join him on his adventures and taste passion in his arms! For a woman determined to keep men out of her life, Emma may just have met her match.

Winter Woman
2003
Her prayer was simple: "Dear God, let me die!"
But Cordelia Channing—preacher's wife, preacher's widow—lived and was born anew as Winter Woman, a woman of power who'd survived the deadliest season in the mountains alone.
She knew she could never do it again. Though perhaps there was no need, for Providence had sent her Thomas Nash, an enigmatic Mountain Man who stirred the deep places of her questing soul.
Nash had come west to lose himself, to rail at the fates that seemed ready to destroy his life at every turn. But somehow those same fates now saw fit to put Delia in his care. And though he was fighting it at every turn, Delia was transforming his life in ways he'd thought forever lost.
