A woman escaping an unwanted marriage. A stubborn newspaperman. Will ambition and attraction spark a love story in Tarnation, Texas?

Lorraine Stuart refuses to be forced into a marriage with a man she can't stand. Fleeing her home state, she joins a group of women journeying to Tarnation, Texas-a town full of bachelors but lacking eligible women. Lorraine dreams of finding a man who will appreciate her wit and her secret talent for writing, even if she must hide behind a pseudonym. Out of all the men in Tarnation, it's the most obstinate-yet intriguing-newspaper owner who captures her heart.

Grant Pettigrew has poured his soul into building the Tarnation Gazette. He's fascinated by Lorraine's spirit and beauty, but he's not about to let a woman write for his paper-or hire anyone he can't afford. As their paths cross, sparks fly between two equally determined souls. Can Lorraine and Grant overcome pride and stubbornness to build a future together, or will their ambitions keep them apart?

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, strong heroine stories, Texas frontier romance, small town romance series, newspaper romance, opposites attract romance, and uplifting happily ever afters.
