An aspiring author writing under a pen name accidentally sparks a crime in this sweetly suspenseful historical romance! It’s a good thing she’s secretly courting a gunsmith who’s been working hard to teach her a thing or two about self-defense. However, secrets have a way of piling up and coming back to haunt a person (especially in small towns like Cedar Falls), and Rose Marie Addington’s growing pile of secrets is no exception to this rule. For a woman who spends so much time reading and writing about happily-ever-afters, she can’t help but worry if true love is strong enough to conquer all in her own harrowing, real-life adventure. This title was previously part of the Belles of Wyoming series and the Border Brides Series. It has since been rewritten and re-edited to be a part of the BRIDES OF CEDAR FALLS SERIES—uplifting historical romance stories full of faith, hope, love, and cowboys!
