She gazed into her husband’s eyes, seeing his love for her reflected there. She couldn’t foresee what lay ahead in their future together. Would the ranch continue to flourish under Jackson’s management? Would her business with Amanda continue to grow? Would she and Jackson raise a whole passel of children?
“What are you thinking about?” Jackson whispered in her ear.
Lily smiled. “You and our future.” With this wonderful man by her side, they could face anything Fate sent their way, meeting all challenges head on and overcoming all adversity together. She couldn’t wait to get started.
A REINVENTED LADY
Book 2
Sons of a Gun Series
Iris Lake escapes her disreputable past by accepting a position as Milestone’s new schoolteacher. She’s convinced nothing can ruin her happiness, until she learns the gentleman courting her is a lawman. Iris ends their friendship, hoping Daniel will never learn the truth about her. But keeping her distance from the handsome and persistent deputy becomes a challenge.
Daniel McLennon grows closer each day to fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a Pinkerton agent. And he plans to further boost his promising career by finding the culprits responsible for a local bank robbery and recovering the missing money. Provided he can trust the information he learned from the new schoolteacher.
Iris fears her former life will spoil her happy future. Will Daniel look beyond Iris’s past? If forced to decide between Iris or his law enforcement dreams, will Daniel follow his ambitions or follow his heart?
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to beta readers Vicki Chatham and S. L. Dickson for offering invaluable assistance with this series, including help with titles and critiquing all five manuscripts. You ladies were a huge part of the planning and the creation of this historical western series, once I finally settled on a series concept and title. And I couldn’t have finished it without your continued support.
Thank you to Su Kopil from https://www.earthlycharms.com for creating the five beautiful covers for the books in the Sons of a Gun Series. And to my fellow authors Shelley, Katie, Vicki and Shaa for offering suggestions during proof approval. The covers are perfect and I love them. And don’t we all adore a handsome cowboy!
Thank you to Ted Williams, times five for the entire series, for once again line editing and finding my grammatical errors while on the lookout for inconsistencies and blatant goof-ups. I appreciate your passion for the written word and your diligence.
Thank you to my husband for accompanying me to Butte, Montana to complete research for the series set in the fictional town of Milestone, Montana which I imagined to be located several hours travel by stagecoach south of Butte. The fictional McLennon family’s Double M Ranch is situated approximately halfway between Milestone and Butte. The series spans the years 1885 through 1889, and I’ve tried my best to represent the time and era to the best of my abilities as an author, while taking instances of creative license to enhance the storyline where I felt necessary. My apologies for any blatant errors my readers may catch. Butte is a beautiful city oozing with history and stories from days gone by. From mining kings to Irish and Chinese immigrants, from mining disasters to annual celebrations still flourishing today. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Butte and I encourage anyone to check out this wonderful city.
After being preoccupied with several contemporary romance stories and multi-author projects, I’ve enjoyed returning to my first writing and reading love – historical western romance. I loved writing this HWR series! And it’s my fondest wish that my readers will enjoy reading it equally as much. I would much appreciate readers leaving a review—even one sentence will suffice—on Amazon or any social platform of your choice. Thank you so much for your support.
