You Can Help Get LOVE'S NEW BEGINNING TO THE FINAL ROUND!

Voting for the RONE (Reward of Novel Excellence) Award underway—April 24-30! For the first time, I am a nominee—for two books, THE BEAUTY OF LOVE and LOVE’S NEW BEGINNING. This is an exciting time for me because it's a huge honor to be nominated! Each year InD’Tale Magazine honors the very best books in indie and small publishing by awarding the prestigious RONE award. To achieve this award, a book must go through a competitive three-step process: 1) it must earn a 4-star rating or higher by professional reviewers; 2) VOTING is the second round; and 3) if it receives enough votes, the book becomes a finalist and continues to the third round—the Judge’s round. The winners are presented at the 2017 RONE Award Gala event in October. You can help me become a finalist by voting at http://www.indtale.com/2017-rone-awar... ! InD’Tale requires that you register (keeps voting honest and fair) on their website www.indtale.com. Registering is completely FREE and does not require any commitments whatsoever. Once you register, click the verification link sent to your email. If you do not verify by clicking on the sent link, you’ll be unable to vote. This sounds complicated, but it isn’t and only takes a few seconds. Remember to only VOTE for LOVE'S NEW BEGINNING so we don't split the votes between the two books!
Always grateful for your help and support,
Dorothy

Gabe McGrath has finally paid for his land among the blue-green pastures and rolling hills of 1806 frontier Kentucky. During a violent storm—the second worst night of his life—Gabe seeks shelter at the home of a nearby cattleman and meets Martha, the man’s stunning, strong-willed daughter. But his burdens of grief and a relentless desire for justice stand in the way of Gabe’s happiness. And Martha holds a sacred, secret promise deep in her heart that makes her deny her attraction to the handsome neighbor. These two young people, who both desire and shun love, are threatened by a vicious gang’s heartbreaking violence. And they are not the only ones terrorized by Laughing Luke’s brutal gang.

Gold Medal Winning NEW FRONTIER OF LOVE eBook is FREE Oct. 13 - 17, 2016!

Here's a gift for you! NEW FRONTIER OF LOVE eBook is FREE 10/13 - 10/17. It's the 2nd book in my American Wilderness Series, but all books may be read independently. Here's a brief synopsis: Set in 1797 on America’s romantic frontier, this historical romance is a pulse-pounding page turner. The Revolutionary War left Captain Sam Wyllie battle-hardened. His courageous but cold heart defies danger—and love. He is determined to make a fresh start in the far west, the new state of Kentucky. Newly widowed, Catherine Adams knows she should return to her wealthy father in Boston but fears he will once again force her to marry for prestige and wealth, not love. Drawn to Sam’s keen intelligence, harsh masculinity, and rugged warrior facade, she decides the west holds a chance for real love. http://amzn.to/1MvTJ6d

Just Released!!! LOVE'S NEW BEGINNING

LOVE'S NEW BEGINNING is now available in both print and eBook formats on Amazon.


Loss took everything. Love gave him even more.
It's 1800 Philadelphia, and the city cowers before a mysterious killer—Yellow Fever. Daniel Armitage and his family are respected members of Philadelphia society. But their status cannot save Daniel’s loved ones. His entire family succumbs to the horrifying disease. His mother’s startling deathbed confession, shakes Daniel to his soul. Another man is really his father. His search for his real father takes him to Kentucky—the edge of the frontier. Seeking a father with a different last name, he is now considered an illegitimate bastard and is scorned by everyone, even himself. Except for the people who matter the most—his true father Daniel "Bear" MacKay and Ann Byrd. Captivated by her beauty and fierce independence, Daniel seeks to court Ann but her father won't allow her near a man born out of wedlock. The humiliation of illegitimacy subjects Daniel to social and legal discrimination. And ruthless, back-stabbing Charles Snyder is obsessed with having Ann for himself. Snyder terrorizes Daniel’s new family and the entire town. Bear’s act of unequivocal love grants Daniel a chance for happiness. But only Ann’s courage can save it.
