A Promised Land Romance

“The journey is lively, sometimes funny, and predictably romantic...The protagonists are irritatingly dense when it comes to dealing with their feelings for each other, but they spar beautifully, and readers will cheer when they finally come to their senses.” - Library Journal, Nov. 15, 2003

“...Full of good-humored banter and exciting moments engendered by the very real dangers of travel in pioneer days, Brown’s gentle historical romance beguiles the reader into wanting more stories of these enterprising and determined Dulans.” - Booklist, October 15, 2003

Willow Gail Dulan didn’t like Rafe Pierce when he read her father’s will. She sure didn’t like him when he tried to talk Hank Gibson out of letting her and her four newly-found sisters travel to California with the wagon train of mail-order brides.

Rafe was totally against the idea of Jake Dulan’s daughters going with the train. He would like nothing better than to leave Willow for the rattlesnakes and Indians. The feeling is mutual.

They lock horns and refuse to budge. Both have a scarred heart from previous experiences, and a temper, so the fireworks explode every time they’re in each other’s presence, which is often since Rafe drew the short straw and has to bring up the rear of the train...right where the Dulan girls’ wagon is located.

Willow and Rafe both realize that out there, beyond the sunsets they both love, lies the Promised Land. It’s not a place or destination, but a spirit and a journey which draws them into the peace of its bosom to rock away the cares of life. But will they ever admit they need each other to reach that Promised Land?

Carolyn Brown is delighted to begin a new historical romance series for AVALON, The Promised Land Romance series. In addition to writing, she is an avid reader and loves to travel.

Willow is Carolyn's twelfth book for AVALON.
