Description

With her family’s legacy on the line, a woman with everything to lose must rely on a man hiding from his past.

Oklahoma, 1890

Frontier women don’t ride off alone to track an outlaw—not even women as capable as tomboy spinster Willa Malone. But Willa desperately needs the bounty money offered for her father’s killer if she’s to keep their homestead and take care of her sisters. That means she needs an expert tracker's help. Gideon Hartley has the skill, but the handsome trail guide also has a troubling secret…

Gideon has spent years trying to numb his pain with whiskey. Little by little, their quest—and Willa’s belief in him—is restoring the sense of purpose he thought he’d lost. Journeying into the heart of danger, they’ll have to face down the past together if they hope to protect their future.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." —Romans 5:8

“A heroine with grit and gumption to spare and a realistically flawed hero battling past demons anchor the plot of Goodnight’s compelling historical romance, a tale that thoughtfully explores the themes of faith and forgiveness while never glossing over the challenges and dangers inherent to life in the nineteenth-century American West.” -Booklist

“At the center of Claiming Her Legacy—a novel that is both sweet and adventurous—is a tender story about the kind of love that can heal deep wounds.

“Willa Malone must hunt down her father’s killer. Justice demands it and the reward money would save the farm for her and her sisters.
