I talk to author Finola Austin about Courting Anna and new projects as part of her Instagram Live festival celebrating the paperback release of her wonderful novel Bronte’s Mistress.
I join Kristine Raymond on the WordPlay podcast:
Courting Anna
Anna Harrison loves her life as a small-town lawyer in 1880s Montana, but since losing her fiancé tragically years before, she hasn’t been willing to open herself up to being hurt again. Not, that is, until she allows herself a single night with an intriguing client, Jeremiah Brown, because he’s leaving town the next day and can’t threaten her cherished independence.
Jeremiah Brown, once known as notorious outlaw Tommy Slade, has been working hard to turn his life around. Anna’s beauty and intelligence attract him as no woman ever has before, but there’s still a price on his head and he needs to keep moving. There’s no future with her unless he can stay out of trouble until the statute of limitations has run out on his past crimes.
Little do either Anna or Jeremiah suspect that fate will throw them together repeatedly as, against their better judgment, they fall in love. Can an outlaw really change his ways? Can an independent woman become a wife without losing herself? In the courtroom, in the wilderness, and in the face of scandal, Jeremiah’s biggest challenge is Courting Anna.
