Book Haven discussion

It seems like forever -- at least to me, and possibly to fans of my Cowbird Creek series -- but What Shows the Heart, the third Cowbird Creek book, is finally out! It's available in paperback and in Kindle, the latter on Kindle Unlimited.

For those not familiar with the series, it's set in 1870s Nebraska, in a (fictional) small town in the southeastern part of the state. Book 3 can be read as a stand-alone, but those who've read either or both of the first two books (What Heals the Heart and What Frees the Heart) will have already met one of the book's romantic leads, Madam Mamie, proprietor of the town's upscale parlor house. As for the male lead, he's new -- to readers, at least. But he's not new to Mamie.

Here's the teaser:
After Jake, son and grandson of preachers, tried and failed to protect Mamie from small town cruelty, Mamie left their small town to fend for herself. Neither expected to see each other again. Now, many years later, Jake is a bitter man with little beside regrets, and Mamie, after much struggle and hazard, runs the thriving parlor house in Cowbird Creek. Can they make a future together, or will the shadow of Jake's past overtake them both?

Here's the cover.

And here's the Amazon purchase link! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DHLCM9/

If anyone would like a free review copy -- though it'll have to be a PDF of the paperback, due to Kindle Unlimited rules -- I'd be delighted to send it along.

Happy reading!
