A Lady in Defiance: A Christian Historical Western Romance Set in Colorado (Romance in the Rockies Book 1)

Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters show up, stranded and alone, he decides to let them stay—as long as they serve his purposes…but they may prove more trouble than they’re worth.

Naomi, angry with God for widowing her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem, however, that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is, "Why?" Does God really have a plan for each and every life?

Based on true events, A Lady in Defiance deftly weaves together the relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance.

Book One of the best-selling Romance in the Rockies series, A Lady in Defiance is written reminiscent of longstanding western fiction classics.

Her characters are vividly drawn, and in the western settings where life can be hard, over quickly, and seemingly without meaning, she reveals Larger Hands holding everyone and everything together."
