Isaac:Letters of Fate by Paty Jager #Giveaway #Romance #HWR



Have you ever received a letter that changed your life?
 
That’s the premise of my new historical western romance series, Letters of Fate. I started out with the idea of writing a Mail Order Groom series. As I pondered the idea, I decided rather than an agency or newspaper announcement bringing a woman and a man together, I’d have men receive a letter that changes their life and brings them to the woman they can’t live without. This element also makes the books stand alone. One book doesn’t have to be read before the other as they are only connected by the hero receiving a letter.

This idea allowed for more external conflicts as I tend to like to have a bit of suspense in the stories. Giving either the hero or heroine an interesting background before they meet adds more to the conflict and brings in elements that up the tension and makes the reader have more to think about than just the romance.

The heat level in these books will be anywhere from PG to R- rated. I allow my characters and their chemistry and personalities to gauge the heat level in stories. Isaac is PG-rated with some steamy scenes and violence. I had to keep this book a bit tamer because it is part of Debra Holland’s Montana Sky Kindle World Series. She tends to write sweet historical westerns. So to not shock her reads too much, I kept Isaac as PG as I could considering the two characters and the events that happen to them in the story. 

Does the heat level in a story matter to you or do you want it to be organic with the character of the characters? Leave a comment and I'll pick one person to receive an ebook copy of Isaac: Letters of Fate.


Isaac: Letters of Fate

Historical western filled with steamy romance and the rawness of a growing country.

Alamayda Wagner’s life has left her cynical, but also vigilant, and that’s what propels her to Morgan’s Crossing, Montana in order to uncover the secrets her father took to his grave. She quickly discovers her only hope includes trusting Isaac Corum. That soon proves to be expensive, and not just financially. 

The last thing Isaac Corum needs or wants is a snooty woman telling him he didn’t do enough to save her father, which is what her letter implied. He’d helped the man more than most people would have, and swears he won’t go out of his way like that again. He’ll meet her at the Sweetwater Springs train station, deliver her father’s belongings, and send her back the way she came.

But, dang it all, the woman doesn’t do a single blasted thing she’s told, and Isaac can’t just sit back and let her go traipsing off into the mountains alone…

Award-winning author Paty Jager and her husband raise alfalfa hay in rural eastern Oregon. She not only writes the western lifestyle, she lives it. All Paty’s work has Western or Native American elements in them along with hints of humor and engaging characters.

I like some heat, but not overdone. Really interested in reading this book where the heroine doesn't do a thing she's told. I can just see the sparks fly.

Hi Ginger! Yes, I can't write a book without a twist. ;)

Hi Charlene! It was a bear to write but I think it's a good book.

Hi Mary! Yes! The sparks flying was the most fun about the book. That and a cameo appearance by a couple of Indians. They were really fun to write.
