Here's the book description:
Kentucky Wilderness 1797—In this compassionately written tale of romance and renewal, Kelly McGuffin—an innocent victim of violence and neglect—is haunted by shame. At age eighteen, loneliness and danger compel her to leave her remote cabin in the Virginia mountains to travel west with the Wyllie brothers’ family to Boonesborough, Kentucky. Kelly’s feelings for her heroic rescuer, Sheriff William Wyllie, remain confused and obscured beneath her worsening veil of fear. Caught in the unpredictable world of the frontier—both breathtakingly beautiful and shockingly cruel—Kelly is unable to control her uncertain future.
William keeps his intense attraction to Kelly hidden, to give her time to heal and become the strong woman he knows she can be. At the same time, William takes on the challenges of his new role as sheriff of Boonesborough, on the very edge of the wilderness. When Kelly’s heart-rending problems mount with frightening speed as harrowing forces confront her, William seeks to protect Kelly from further trauma while he guides her to find strength from within. To do that, she must confront the hardest person to be honest with—herself.
Can Kelly untie her tangled emotions and let her heart smile for the first time? Will William’s tender love, and belief in Kelly, heal her soul? Can they come together in time to battle the most disturbing and shocking event of all? Journey to the stunning wilderness of Kentucky and meet a memorable cast of heroes, outlaws, Indians, and settlers. Skillfully written, richly authentic, powerfully dramatic, WHISPERING HILLS OF LOVE, will make you weep, laugh, cringe in fear, fall in love, and remember.

FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE Earns a 5-Star Review from Readers' Favorite
Book Review
Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite
Frontier Highlander Vow of Love by Dorothy Wiley is a story of finding love in the most unexpected place and time. Artis MacKay's life was destroyed along with her village in Scotland. Patrick Steller, the Countess of Sutherland's estate manager, burnt her village and killed her parents. She was forced to live as a servant in Virginia in a slave plantation. Her life had no relief and freedom was far out of reach. She was granted freedom and a piece of land in Kentucky after seven hard years. She expected her life to be free and uneventful. She wasn't expecting love. But love did come.
Bear MacKee once lived in the beautiful Highlands. But his parents were killed by a horrible disease on the journey to the colonies, and he was left alone in the world. When he was adopted by the Wyllies family, he found hope again. After watching his adopted family find love, he is ready to settle down and have a partner who will understand him. He finds all that and more with Artis. But the foes of the past and some new enemies are hell bent on destroying their lives. Can Bear and Artis keep their love alive, or will they fall prey to the evil their enemies invoke?
The Frontier Highlander Vow of Love by Dorothy Wiley was an interesting novel. Although I had not read the other three novels in the series, I had no difficulty in understanding Bear's relationship with his adopted family. Bear is a well developed character and a brother that we all wish to have. Artis and her devastated life was very emotional and felt like a true story, so kudos to Dorothy Wiley for managing that. The story will touch your heart and reach out to people whose lives have suffered significant setbacks such as those experienced by Artis--the Highland clearances and indentured servitude. Awesomely written and the well formed sentences made it perfect.
Available now in both ebook and print formats from Amazon.

Book Four - FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE Now Available in Print--EBook Soon
Hello friends and family! Hope you are all doing well and are looking forward to summer. I'm excited to share that my fourth novel FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE is up on Amazon and available now in print format. The eBook will be added on Amazon in about 8 days--around June 27. This book was such a pleasure to write and I really hope you enjoy reading it! The five people who read advance copies have all called it their favorite so far. For those of you who haven't yet read my books, they celebrate the rich historical heritage of the frontier and the courageous settlers who shaped our country.
The link to the print version on Amazon is: www.amazon.com/author/dorothywiley
And here's the link to the book's short trailer on You Tube: http://youtu.be/FUhVMUTwCtI
The story begins in Scotland, but quickly shifts to the American colonies. Here's the book description:
Strathnaver, Scotland, Summer 1792. The Highland Clearances abruptly destroy Artis MacKay’s idyllic world. Patrick Steller, the Countess of Sutherland’s estate manager murders Artis’ family and burns her village. Forced into indentured servitude in the colonies, she becomes a Virginia plantation servant. After seven long years, Artis receives her freedom dues—land in Kentucky.
Bear MacKee grew up in the Highlands too, but disease claims his parents on his family’s voyage to the colonies. Adopted by the Wyllies, he becomes a loyal and fiercely protective brother who journeys with them to Kentucky. With his brothers safely settled, the time comes for Bear to find his own wife and future.
Their past and their destiny entwined, Artis and Bear meet and pledge their love. But a cold-blooded old enemy and a ruthless new adversary threaten to crush Artis and Bear’s chance for happiness. And the dark side of nature becomes a frightening adversary too. For love to triumph in the wilderness, they must evoke the MacKay Clan motto—Manu Forti—with a strong hand.
To celebrate this new release, I am offering the eBook version of my second novel, NEW FRONTIER OF LOVE, for FREE in early June (tentatively June 4-8). By the way, NEW FRONTIER has 54 reviews with 48 of those giving it 5-Stars! That's a 4.8 average rating out of 5. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1497438640/?...
