ABOUT THE BOOK
No one steps on Archer
land. Not if they value their life. But when Meredith Hayes overhears a lethal
plot to burn the Archer brothers off their ranch, a twelve-year-old debt compels
her to take the risk.
Fourteen years of constant vigilance hardens a man. Yet when Travis Archer confronts a female trespasser with the same vivid blue eyes as the courageous young girl he once aided, he can't bring himself to send her away. And when an act of sacrifice leaves her injured and her reputation in shreds, gratitude and guilt send him riding to her rescue once again.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Karen Witemeyer is a deacon's wife and mother of three who believes the world needs more happily-ever-afters. To that end, she combines her love of bygone eras with her passion for helping women mature in Christ to craft historical romance novels that lift the spirit and nurture the soul.
After growing up in California, Karen moved to Texas to attend Abilene Christian University where she earned bachelor and master's degrees in Psychology. It was also there that she met and married her own Texas hero. He roped her in good, for she has lived in Texas ever since. In fact, she fell so in love with this rugged land of sweeping sunsets and enduring pioneer spirit, that she incorporates it into the pages of her novels, setting her stories in the small towns of a state that burgeoned into greatness in the mid- to late1800s.
Karen is living her dream by writing Christian historical romance novels for Bethany House.
I really enjoyed getting to know Meredith and the Archer men. The story behind why the Archer's are so feared and never leave their land was very interesting and well woven into the story. I always know that Witemeyer will have something different an unqiue in her books--character quirk, interesting predicament or place--and this one is no exception. Even after finishing the book, I am still stuck on Archer's land.
