Christian Historical Romance West Texas, 1884 Camille Dupree, genteel Southern lady and professional gambler, longs for a different kind of life. She doesn't believe it's possible to start over—until she arrives in Willow Grove and Mayor Ty McKinnon convinces her otherwise. In the burgeoning West, a good heart is a valued commodity, and Camille develops a reciprocal appreciation for her neighbors...especially Ty, who sees more beauty and virtue in her than she's ever seen in herself. With his help, she becomes a respectable businesswoman. And begins to learn about the love of God and Jesus. A widower, no one else has stirred Ty's interest until Camille. Torn between his love for his first wife and loneliness, Ty steps out in faith to become Camille's friend and see where their relationship leads. But ill-wishers threaten to destroy her hard-won acceptance, and Camille finds herself in need of the town's forgiveness...and Tyler's. Can she trust the man she loves to bend his principles and extend the pardon that will bless them both?

Author
aka Sharon Harlow Bestselling author Sharon Gillenwater writes stories about love—between a man and a woman, of family and home, and the everlasting love of God and Jesus. She grew up on a ranch in the Rolling Plains of West Texas, near the small town of Colorado City. Marriage took her across the country, but Texas is still dear to her heart. All of her Christian contemporary romances and most of her Christian historical romances are set in small West Texas towns filled with rugged, yet tenderhearted cowboys and strong, yet compassionate women. While on a trip to England and Scotland years ago, the history and people captured her imagination. After returning home, she discovered Regency romances and another favorite time period and setting. She currently has two Christian Regency historical romances available, along with three sweet historical Regency romances. She and her husband live in a quiet, rural area of Washington state with a wonderful view of the mountains. A friend once commented, “It’s like a writer’s retreat.” Sharon agrees and is busy dreaming up stories about Texas cowboys or English and Scottish heroes and the women who win their hearts.
