Bestselling Author of Historical Romances and Romantic Comedies

What was supposed to be a novella (Restoring Hope)--to answer the question of who was Martha and whatever happened to her in "A Chance In Time"?--turned into a full-length novel. From that novel came two more ideas. This is why I have to separate this series of books into its own category because these are unique. They feature the Mandan Indians of North Dakota around 1900. They are called Indians since back then in the United States, we referred to Native Americans as Indians.
Tender Romance (R)
Story Sample: Gary Proposes to Woape
Book cover made by Bonnie Steffens!
In the middle of the night, a young Mandan Indian woman, Woape, flees her tormentors.
When Gary Milton finds her, he doesn't know why three Indian men want to harm her. But he's sure of one thing: he must save her. So he does. Feeling safe with him, she follows him home.
Haunted by her past and stuck in a white man's world, she clings to him and becomes his wife. But her past is not far behind, and when it catches up to her, much more is at stake than before. Will she ever find the peace and security she longs for? Or will her life be in the hands of her tormentors forever?
