Giving Away Ten Copies of Where the Trail Ends
I'm so pleased to announce the release of my latest historical romance novel, Where the Trail Ends (one of two novels launching the new American Tapestries series this fall).Here's a quick blurb about the book:
A young woman traveling the Oregon Trail in 1842 must rely on a stranger to bring her to safety. But whom can she trust with her heart?
For two thousand miles along the trail to Oregon Country, Samantha Waldron and her family must overcome tremendous challenges to reach the Willamette Valley before winter. But when their canoe capsizes on the Columbia River, they must rely on British exporter Alexander Clarke to rescue them from the icy water. Samantha is overwhelmed with men vying for her affections at Fort Vancouver, but the only one who intrigues her—Alex—is the one she cannot have.
If you would like to enter the contest to receive one of ten giveaway copies, please leave a comment with your email address below. After we draw the names on November 1st, I'll email the winners. Also, if you'd like to enter the drawing for a Kindle Fire promotion that is launching this series, please click here. That contest ends on Oct. 17.
I hope you enjoy the story of this harrowing but rewarding journey to Oregon! As a resident of this beautiful state, I'm very grateful for all those who sacrificed everything to come west.
