Land of My Heart by Tracie Peterson is the 1st in her Heirs of Montana series of historical family saga novels with strong romantic elements, this installment setting up said family as the heroine journeys to her uncle's frontier ranch where she eventually meets the hero, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.
This does not actually seem to be a dedicated romance series, as the next 3 books in the series (which incidentally seem to also be on some kind of discount sale at $4 or under per) follow the same couple as they establish their homestead and raise their children and deal with issues relating to Montana's approaching statehood (and many of the store listing categories just put it under plain historical), but YMMV, as Peterson does also write dedicated historical romances as well, many of which we've been given free in the past.
This has previously been offered free in 2013.
Currently free, probably just for one day @
B&N (may also drop in the
UK),
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK), &
iTunes (available to Canadians). Normally this would also be free @
ChristianBook,
Kobo, and
Google Play, but some of the scheduled official publisher promos are being slow to drop or just not showing up in random stores tonight, so there's linkage for your price-drop check convenience if it gets fixed in the morning.
Description
Adventurers, families, outlaws...all driven west in the 1860s by a longing for endless blue sky along with wild and wide-open spaces. Tracie Peterson, from her own Montana home, paints an unforgettable portrait of this rich, rugged landscape, populated by strong and spirited characters.
When Dianne Chadwick urges her family to move west to her uncle's ranch in the Montana Territory, she has no idea that her new life in the rugged frontier--and even within her uncle's home--will not be the idyllic adventure she expects. But first she has to survive the arduous wagon journey with the help of guide Cole Selby, whose heart seems to be as hard as the mountains he loves.
