Glory, Glory

Glory, Glory by Linda Lael Miller (originally published December 1990 in Silhouette Desire #607 and reissued numerous times.)

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

For Glory Parsons, "home for the holidays" wasn't exactly the stuff of sing-a-longs and sleigh rides. In fact, she dreaded it. Dreaded having to face the things she'd lost---her brother, a casualty of war; and Jesse Bainbridge, a casualty of her own weakness. She'd never been able to tell Jesse the reason she'd left him abruptly ten years ago, after she'd promised to love him forever. And he certainly didn't seem open to talking about it now.

Jesse had too much on his plate to get involved with Glory Parsons. He was the sheriff of Pearl Lake and responsible for his orphaned niece. So why couldn't he stay away from the woman? She drew him, just as she always had. But there would be no kisses under the mistletoe for them until he knew the truth. If he was strong enough to face it.

Snowbound with the Bodyguard by Carla Cassidy (originally published July 2008 in Silhouette Romantic Suspense #1521)

She'd been stranded by a snowstorm with nowhere to turn. But when all seemed lost, mom-on-the-run Janette Black saw the sign for Wild West Protective Services---and found Dalton West.

The loner of the West clan had no time for love and family. But protecting was in Dalton's blood---and he knew when a woman carried secrets. He would take Janette and her baby into his home to wait out the storm, and bar the door from any danger. And when Janette's demons tracked her down, Dalton would take on hell itself to keep her safe from harm.

Linda Lael Miller's Bio

The Daughter of a Town Marshall

Linda Lael Miller is a #1New York TimesandUSA TODAYbestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, WA , Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London, Florence and Venice, and traveling to many other parts of the world as well, including Israel, Thailand, Hong Kong and Bali. After living in Port Orchard, WA for twenty years, Linda moved to Arizona, living first in Scottsdale and then on a horse property outside Cave Creek. She moved back to Spokane, the city where she was born, after eight years, having written several books set in Arizona. Presently, she downsized, and now lives in the San Diego area, near her daughter and son-in-law, Wendy and Jeremy, with her two dogs, Tule and Mowgli.

Linda's Story

Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher's Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.

The First Lady of the West

Dedicated to helping others, "The First Lady of the West" personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.
