About this ebook
Cry of the West: Hallie
Rescue on the Rio: Lilah
Missouri Challenge: Daisy
Rush Garrett has been hired by his friends, Cooper and Hallie Jerome (book one), to find Hallie's sister, Lilah, and persuade her to return to Oregon with him. The sisters parted ways twenty years earlier and Hallie longs to be reunited with her only sibling.
Lilah Parker yearns for her family, but in her infrequent letters to her sister Hallie, she has lied about her occupation. Her sister believes her to be a seamstress, when, in truth, she is a wealthy man's mistress. Lilah's shame and fear that she will be disowned by her loved ones causes her to reject Rush's offer of escort to Oregon.
However, fate has other plans for these mismatched lovers as they travel from New Orleans to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Oh, and along the way, Lilah gets kidnapped by bandits.
The book can be read as a standalone.

About the author
As always, I love peering into the minds of my heroes and heroines. For this story, it is Rush Garrett and Lilah Parker. Lilah is the sister of Hallie Wells Jerome from book one, Cry of the West in the Finding Home Series, and Rush served in the military with Hallie's second husband, Cooper Jerome. It has been twenty years since the sisters parted ways.
Over the course of this adventure from New Orleans to Oregon, with some stop offs neither Rush nor Lilah foresaw, I gave our star-crossed lovers plenty of obstacles to overcome, but also plenty of time to get to know one another. Of course, Lilah has built tall fences around her heart, but I have a feeling Rush may have the fortitude and compassion to scale those barriers. I also have the feeling it will not be an easy task.
