<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Betsy Huckabee dreams of being a big-city journalist, but first she has to get out of Pine Gap. To that end, she pens a romanticized serial for the ladies' pages of a distant newspaper, using the handsome new deputy and his exploits for inspiration. She'd be horrified if he read her breathless descriptions of him, but no one from home will ever know.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Jennings Offers Another Delightful Blend of History and Romance<br/></b><br/>Betsy Huckabee might be a small-town girl, but she has big-city dreams. Writing for her uncle's newspaper will never lead to independence, and the bigger newspapers don't seem interested in the Hart County news. Trying a new approach, Betsy pens a romanticized serial for the ladies' pages, and the new deputy provides the perfect inspiration for her submissions. She'd be horrified if he read her breathless descriptions of him, but these articles are for a newspaper far away. No one in Pine Gap will ever know.<br/> <br/>Deputy Joel Puckett didn't want to leave Texas, but this job in tiny Pine Gap is his only shot at keeping his badge. With masked marauders riding every night, his skills and patience are tested, but even more challenging is the sassy journalist lady chasing him.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Rather Than Wait for a Hero, She Decided to Create One <br/></b> <br/>Betsy Huckabee has big-city dreams, but nobody outside of tiny Pine Gap, Missouri, seems interested in the articles she writes for her uncle's newspaper. Her hopes for independence may be crushed, until the best idea she's ever had comes riding into town. <br/><br/>Deputy Joel Puckett didn't want to leave Texas, but unfair circumstances have made moving to Pine Gap his only shot at keeping a badge. Worse, this small town has big problems, and masked marauders have become too comfortable taking justice into their own hands. He needs to make clear that <i>he's</i> the law in this town--and that job is made more difficult with a nosy reporter who seems to follow him everywhere he goes. <br/><br/>The hero Betsy creates to be the star in a serial for the ladies' pages is based on the dashing deputy, but he's definitely fictional. And since the pieces run only in newspapers far away, no one will ever know. But the more time she spends with Deputy Puckett, the more she appreciates the real hero--and the more she realizes what her ambition could cost him.<br/><br/>"Jennings creates a perfect blend of love, mystery, and wit in this 19th-century romance."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> starred review<br/><br/>"Jennings' latest is a delightfully entertaining historical romance featuring charismatic humor, unpredictable thrills, and vigilante justice. The plot is tense and exciting, and the novel sparkles with the wit and charm of its spirited heroine. It is more romantic and less stuffy than your average inspirational, and Jennings uses classic western touches like six-shooters, spurs, and white Stetsons to land readers squarely in the Ozark Mountains of 1885." --<b><i>Booklist<br/><br/></i></b>"This is such a delightful read with an adorable romance and a fun and entertaining storyline. . . . The interactions and dialogue between the main characters are sheer perfection. The mystery and drama with the hero's backstory and the masked marauders keep the momentum of the story going at a nice pace and allows for no dull moments. There is so much to love here in this little gem, it is easily one of Jennings' best."<b><i>--RT Book Reviews<br/><br/></i></b>"With her usual touches of humor, Jennings brings the post-Civil War Ozarks to life. In a dangerous land, Betsey and Joel learn real heroes are better than the ones we make up."<b><i>--Christian Market<br/><br/></i></b>"Jennings's lighthearted tone, likable characters, and feel-good narrative with a touch of drama makes for another swoon-worthy historical romance set in the American West. Readers who appreciate Jen Turano won't be disappointed."<b><i>--Library Journal</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Regina Jennings</b> is a graduate of Oklahoma Baptist University with a degree in English.
