Description

Forced to flee Omaha in 1880, Rebecca Alexander seizes a desperate and unexpected chance at freedom—by trading places with a mail-order bride bound for Sacramento.

Widowed rancher Jesse Harris never planned to marry a stranger that day. But with two young children to raise and a struggling ranch to manage, he’s willing to take the risk. Rebecca's arrival offers a glimmer of hope for stability—and maybe even love.

As they work to build a life together, affection begins to grow between them. But so do the shadows of Rebecca’s secret. And if the truth comes to light, it could cost them everything.

Can Jesse learn to trust the woman who was never meant to be his bride? And can God redeem a broken past and turn it into something beautiful?

Risking It All is a heartwarming inspirational historical romance about second chances, faith, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown.

Perfect for fans of Janette Oke, Tracie Peterson, and readers who love clean Western romance with redemptive themes.

Advance Praise

An early review by ARC reader Tracy.

Risking It All by Jeri Stockdale is a moving Christian romance that left an ache in my heart and hope in my soul. The author beautifully shows how God has a plan and will use any loss or hurt to bring something better in His perfect timing. The chemistry and tender moments between the characters shine as both struggle with painful pasts, facing their fears and learning to trust again. I highly recommend this touching, faith-filled romance for anyone who believes in second chances and the power of redemption.

Marketing Plan

I’m actively promoting my new release, Risking It All (Inspirational Historical Romance), through a multi-channel marketing strategy. Leading up to launch, I’m sharing teaser graphics, countdowns, and behind-the-scenes content on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as through my website and regular email newsletters.

The book is listed on BookBub, Goodreads, and Fiction Finder to increase visibility among targeted readers. I’m running a one-month Goodreads giveaway to generate early reader engagement and reviews.

I’ve partnered with fellow authors in my genre for coordinated social media campaigns and in-person promotional events. I’m also securing guest blog posts and author interviews on relevant platforms. In addition, I’m preparing to expand my reach through YouTube videos related to the book and my writing process.

These combined efforts are designed to build anticipation pre-release, support early reviews on NetGalley and beyond, and sustain momentum post-launch.
