Frontier Adventure and Romance

I’m always a sucker for a tale of forbidden love, but when it’s set on the wild frontier of Tennessee, I’m all in. And Bent Tree Bride does not disappoint with its romance, honor and intrigue. This story is an action-filled historical depiction of a time of unrest in our nation, when tensions were high and so were the stakes. And if that weren’t enough, the love story between Susanna and Sam is positively swoon-worthy! I heartily recommend it. Here’s a blurb:

Susanna Moore can’t get him out of her mind—the learned lieutenant who delivered the commission from Andrew Jackson making her father colonel of the Cherokee Regiment. But the next time she sees Lieutenant Sam Hicks, he’s leading a string of prisoners into a frontier fort, and he’s wearing the garb of a Cherokee scout rather than the suit of a white gentleman. 

As both Susanna’s father and Sam’s commanding officer, Colonel Moore couldn’t have made his directive to stay away from his daughter clearer to Sam. He wants a better match for Susanna—like the stuffy doctor who escorted her to Creek Territory. Then a suspected spy forces Moore to rely on Sam for military intelligence and Susanna’s protection, making it impossible for either to guard their heart.
