Publisher's summary

A story of love and danger in The Front Range Series set in Colorado 1876. A historical Western romance that will get your heart racing ...

LeRoy Banks has no time for love or romance—he's busy breaking in horses at Whitcomb's ranch. But on the afternoon of his brother's wedding, a grizzly attacks the herd of horses, and though Whitcomb's ranch hands shoot him, the bear lumbers off, injured and enraged. LeRoy, the only competent tracker around, heads out into the Rockies after the bear before it kills again. But not before his ma, a Cheyenne medicine woman, gives him a warning. The mountain holds secrets, she tells him, and LeRoy must not be afraid of what he'll find. Unsettled by her puzzling words, he sets out, unaware of the dangers he is about to face—not just to his life but to his heart.

Geneviève Champlain has spent long, lonely years in isolation in the mountains, her life a trail of broken dreams, loss, and heartache. Her supplies running out, she is teetering on the edge of despair and madness as a snowstorm blows in, signaling an early winter. Her hope is failing—she knows she cannot face another winter alone. Yet she sees no way out. She can never leave her cabin and live a normal life like other women. There is no place for a tainted woman like her in frontier society. Before the storm blows in, she learns the killer grizzly is close by. She has no choice but to head out and try to kill it before it reaches her cabin. Yet when she tracks the bear, she finds something she never expected—something even more threatening than a grizzly.

Praise for Colorado Hope:

"I was so utterly thrilled to have a story hold my attention this completely...To me, this is the perfect story to ‘cocoon’ yourself in to your favorite reading spot, and try not to come out ‘til you’re done." —FictionZeal.com

"This was one of the BEST books I've ever read! The heart-stopping adventures are believable and gripping, but best of all is the empathy and understanding you'll feel for the heroes! You will fall in love with the two protagonists, whose hearts are good and kind. And you'll love to hate the antagonists, whose hearts are cold and calculating. Whitman's savvy understanding of human nature is matched perfectly with her beautiful writing ability: her descriptions draw you in; her pacing keeps you hooked; and her emotional sensitivity will keep you turning pages long into the night!" —author Pamela Walls
