The Rose Legacy by Kristen Heitzmann is 1st in her Diamond of the Rockies series of historical suspense adventures with romantic elements set in a Colorado mining town in the 1880s, following the life of plucky heroine-with-a-past Carina, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.
MR members who tried a previous Heitzmann Baker contemporary suspense freebie,
Freefall, have mentioned that it was
quite enjoyable and not "inspirational" in tone, so if the storyline of this one seems to otherwise appeal to you but you would not normally try a dedicated Christian publisher book, perhaps you might like to give this one a go if you're feeling in an adventurous mood.
Currently free, possibly just for one day @
B&N (may also drop in the
UK),
Amazon (available to Canadians and in the
UK),
Kobo &
iTunes &
Google Play (all available to Canadians), and
Christian Book (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).

Though the town has a rough element, Carina is determined that it is the place her dreams will come true. Early on, two men vie for her trust, but neither is what he seems. Will Carina discern the truth in time to prevent tragedy?
