About the author

Wisconsin natives, Ana Leigh and her husband, Don, have three children and five grandchildren. From the time of the publication of her novel, LOVE'S LONG JOURNEY, by Leisure Books in 1981, Ana successfully juggled her time between her chosen career and her hobby of writing, until she officially retired in September of '94 to devote more time to her "hobby." In the past she has been a theater cashier (who married the boss,) the head of an accounting department, a corporate officer, and the only female on the Board of Directors of an engineering firm.

This best selling author (New York Times and USA Today bestsellers lists) received a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award nomination for Storyteller of the Year in 1991, the BOOKRAK 1995-1996 Best Selling Author Award for her May release, THE MACKENZIES: LUKE, the Romantic Times 1995-1996 Career Achievement Award for Western Historical Romance, and the Romantic Times 1996-1997 Career Achievement Award for Historical Storyteller of the Year.

Reviews

[Mariannj]

Engaging plot, likeable characters, great chemistry between the hero and heroine, and dialogue that was genuinely enjoyable and even funny at times.

It’s so refreshing to read a historical romance where the hero isn’t an asshole and the heroine isn’t stupid. 😂 There’s also no frustrating, unnecessary misunderstanding driving the plot. Just two likeable characters with great chemistry, and a story that’s actually enjoyable to read. Though the ending was just a bit rushed. I didn’t want it to end. I really liked this one!
