DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeril on the frontier challenges the faith of an heiress—and draws a handsome rancher into her life—in this western romance by the author of Promises Kept. She may be an heiress, but Parker Promise Sinclair cares more about living an adventurous life than snaring a suitable husband. So it’s no surprise when she joins a Colorado wagon train—only to survive a massacre that leaves her with no memory, a target on her back—and her abiding faith tested by the only man who can possibly protect her. His gunfighting skills and trail savvy have saved ex-U.S. Marshal Jake McBride more times than he can count. And his instincts tell him the only way to keep Promise alive is to take her along on his high-stakes cattle drive. But she soon proves she can ride and shoot with the best of them—and Jake finds it increasingly difficult to keep himself from falling for her. Soon, with danger closing in, they'll have only one chance to face their doubts, their fears—and their growing love . . . Named by Booklist as one of the Top 10 Inspirational Books for 2015! “Promise is a brave, resilient heroine of faith . . . [in] Dunn’s subtly inspirational western romance. Finding Promise follows Promises Kept in Dunn’s McBride Brothers series; libraries will want both and those to follow.” —Booklist, starred review “An enjoyable historical romance with charming characters. While some of the characters have more grit than grins, it’s interesting to see them interact. The storyline is believable and flows smoothly, with nice twists and turns.
