Romance readers have taken to Maggie Brendan's softer romantic
style that perfectly captures life on the American frontier,
introducing them to rugged, independent souls and their inner
spiritual struggles, and the quest for love that makes for a
satisfying read every time. Set in 1890s Montana, The Jewel of
His Heart finds Juliana drawn to a handsome, gentle
sheepherder--but sparks fly when he considers mining, the
occupation that lured her father away from his family. Both Josh
and Juliana must make a choice--the world's riches and promises, or
the eternal value of love.
Praise for Maggie Brendan's first book:
"You won't want to set this book down."--Romantic Times,
4½-star review
"This gentle romance set among the rugged beauty of the Colorado
foothills will warm readers' hearts."--Kim Vogel Sawyer
Their future is as wide open as the Montana sky
Juliana Brady is alone in an 1890s Montana mining town, with few
prospects for making a living. But she is determined not to be
dependent on the charity of others.
Josh McBride is trying to scrape up a living from his sheep herd
while he builds his ranch. But when he discovers some rare stones
on his property, he's tempted by the prospect of fast money.
When their paths cross, Juliana and Josh must make a choice--the
world's riches and promises, or the eternal value of love.
"Maggie Brendan is adept at weaving a sweet love story, and The
Jewel of His Heart showcases her penchant for capturing the Old
West in authentic dialogue, in vivid descriptions, and in the
struggle of two hearts destined to become one. Within these pages
indeed lies a jewel."--Tamera Alexander, bestselling author of
From a Distance, Beyond This Moment, and The
Inheritance
"With its tender love story and vivid imagery of a time gone by,
Maggie Brendan's gentle style of prairie romance is reminiscent of
Janette Oke, capturing the heart of both the Old West and the
reader with romance that will make you sigh."--Julie Lessman,
author of the Daughters of Boston series
