Josephine Shafter has spent years hunting the men who destroyed her family, delivering justice with a steady hand and an unyielding heart. But with vengeance finally behind her, she’s left with nothing but an empty future. Yearning for something more—something softer—she answers an ad to become a mail-order bride, hoping Montana’s wild beauty will bring the peace she’s never known. Sheriff Sam Longworth is a man haunted by the past. Guilt over his failed marriage and his wife’s tragic death weighs heavily on him, leaving him desperate for a fresh start. A practical man, he seeks a wife who will bring stability, not trouble. Josephine, with her sharp wit and quiet strength, seems like the perfect match—until shadows from her past follow her to his town. As Jo and Sam fight to build a life together, an unseen enemy lurks in the distance, waiting for the right moment to strike. Trust is fragile, love even more so, and when danger closes in, they must decide whether their bond is strong enough to withstand the storm—or if the past will tear them apart before they have a chance at forever. Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of fifteen historical western romance books. She was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends. Their closest neighbor was about one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his death in 2006. Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling bug. At age ten, she wrote her first romance about a little boy she liked at the time. Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity. Cynthia also writes as CA Woolf and has six titles of scifi romance under that name.   TITLES AVAILABLE THE HUNTER BRIDE - Hope's Crossing, Book 1THE REPLACEMENT BRIDE - Hope's Crossing, Book 2THE STOLEN BRIDE - Hope's Crossing, Book 3  THORPE'S MAIL-ORDER BRIDE - Montana Sky Series, Kindle Worlds GENEVIEVE: Bride of Nevada, American Mail-Order Brides Series, Book 36GIDEON - The Surprise BridesMAIL ORDER OUTLAW - The Brides of Tombstone, Book 1MAIL ORDER DOCTOR - The Brides of Tombstone, Book 2MAIL ORDER BARON - The Brides of Tombstone, Book 3 NELLIE - The Brides of San Francisco 1 ANNIE - The Brides of San Francisco 2 CORA - The Brides of San Francisco 3 JAKE (Book 1, Destiny in Deadwood series) LIAM (Book 2, Destiny in Deadwood series) ZACH (Book 3, Destiny in Deadwood series)     CAPITAL BRIDE (Book 1, Matchmaker & Co. series) HEIRESS BRIDE (Book 2, Matchmaker & Co. series) FIERY BRIDE (Book 3, Matchmaker & Co. series) TAME A WILD HEART (Book 1, Tame series) TAME A WILD WIND (Book 2, Tame series) TAME A WILD BRIDE (Book 3, Tame series) TAME A HONEYMOON HEART (novella, Tame series)     WEBSITE - cynthiawoolf.com   NEWSLETTER - bit.ly/1qBWhFQ
