About this ebook

Though she had planned to spend the summer in Vermont with her sweetheart, Abigail Harding cannot dismiss her concerns over her older sister. Charlotte's letters have been uncharacteristically melancholy, and her claims that nothing is wrong ring false, so Abigail heads West to Wyoming. The endless prairie seems monotonous, but when her stagecoach is attacked, Wyoming promises to be anything but boring. Luckily, the heroics of another passenger, Lieutenant Ethan Bowles, save the day.

When circumstances--and perhaps a bit of matchmaking--put Abigail and Ethan together, there's certainly attraction. But Abigail is planning to marry another man and return to life in Vermont as soon as she is finished attending to her sister. And Ethan loves his life in the Army and the wilds of Wyoming. When summer ends, will Abigail go back East? Or will she fall in love with this rugged land herself?

Book 1 of the new Westward Winds series, Summer of Promise is a tale of following your heart to unexpected places. Readers will enjoy Amanda Cabot's passionate characters and vibrant setting in the beautiful high prairie.

Ratings and reviews

Disappointing. With sentences like "It might be loveOliver would probably claim it wasbut Ethan wasn’t certain." made it an aggravating read... I guess getting this book at a discount price gets you a discount on spaces and grammar as well.

A romantic chr5novel set in the post civil war Era Inn Wyoming. Abigail arrives at Fort Laramie from Vermont to help her sister. Instead she finds mystery and love.

Great book loved it :-) Can't wait to read the Second book. Wished for more of Abigail and Ethan and what he did with his life after the Army
