Love's Timeless Hope
IT WAS THE LAST PLACE SHE EVER EXPECTED TO FIND HERSELF--IN THE YEAR 1876...AND IN LOVE...

Romance novelist Rebecca Reynolds heads to Jefferson, Texas to research what she swears will be her last novel. Why should she perpetuate the myth of everlasting love when her own heart has been so cruelly broken?

In spite of herself, Rebecca is captivated by Jefferson's bewitching legends. What happened to Diamond Bessie Moore, the beautiful young woman who was mysteriously and brutally murdered? Would the person who slept in notorious blackheart Garit Behringer's bed at the Behringer Inn wake up in love?

No sooner does she check into the fabled inn that Rebecca is swept away into the dangerous world of old Jefferson. And when she finds herself staring into the hypnotic eyes of Garit Behringer himself, she knows something shocking and wonderful is about to happen--something she could never have imagined, even in her most passionate novel.
