Love and second chances aren'’t easy to come by in a town named Tombstone. When Christy Grey receives an urgent summons to Tombstone, Arizona, she reluctantly leaves her new life in California. The trip goes from bad to worse when four masked men hold up Christy’s stage. She finally arrives in Tombstone to find her mother ill and her brother trapped in a life of gambling. Desperate for money to support her family, will Christy bow to pressure from the local saloon owners and return to the life she thought she’d given up for good? Nevada King has problems of his own. He'’s been dodging bullets for years and wants nothing more than to settle down and get married. But he'’s on the run from outlaws bent on revenge, and the one woman who captures his interest recognizes him from the stagecoach holdup. Will Christy turn Nevada in to the authorities, or will the outlaws on his trail catch him first? Miralee and her husband Allen have been married 38 yrs. They live on 11 acres in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in southern Washington State, where they love to garden, play with their dogs, take walks, and go sailing. Miralee also rides her horse on the wooded trails near their home with her grown daughter who lives nearby. Miralee serves as president of the Portland, Oregon, chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers and belongs to a number of writer's groups. She also speaks at women's groups, libraries, and churches about her writing journey. When she started writing fiction Miralee believed that she'd always stay with women's contemporary, but has since branched out to historical romance. Exploring family and marriage issues, The Other Daughter follows a family of four who receive a shock in the form of a 13-year-old girl who lands on their doorstep, claiming to be the daughter of the husband/father of the family--a girl they didn't know existed. Finding Jeena features a character from the first book and explores socio-economic issues through a single woman's sudden job-loss and ensuing struggle for survival. She's found her 'voice' in writing historical fiction, especially books set in the Old West, and loves filling them with adventure, action, remarkable characters, and sweet romance. Miralee grew up as a young adult reading every Zane Grey western she could find, and believes that influenced her current writing to some degree. Some day she'll go back to writing contemporary fiction, but right now she's having so much fun creating characters making their mark in the Old West, that she's not quite ready to stop. She hopes you'll join her on one of their adventures and let her know what you think!!
