They had lost everything that mattered . . .
Three nightmarish years of marriage shattered Brianna Wight's sheltered world. Leading her husband to believe she's been murdered, she flees to St. Louis . . . harboring terrible secrets that could be the death of her.
The tragic loss of his Indian wife left Columbus Nigh a wanderer; necessity made him a wilderness guide. Now he finds himself drawn to the enigmatic woman who's hired him to lead her westward. Her gentle strength stirs his lonely heart . . . her tender beauty arouses his deepest passions. Would they find love again on a western journey?
But the perils of the Oregon Trail pale beside the murderous wrath of the man who tracks them across the harsh frontier. Briana knows the only way to save herself and Columbus is to risk their tender love. Only then can she free herself from the horrors of the past -- and embrace a rapturous future . . .

Hello and welcome to my author page. Let me tell you a little about myself, as that seems to be the main purpose of this profile. Believe it or not, I began my fiction career in the third grade when I told my class that a little sister I never had died of a black widow bite. I also wrote books through my teen years, always about a girl whose mother mistreated her by making her wash dishes, sweep the floor... you get the idea. Never finished any of those stories. But the idea of writing a real book and publishing it never occurred to me. It was a particularly vivid dream that drove me to drag out a portable typewriter and go to work on my first novel. In 1990 my second completed book, Tender Touch, brought me a first place win in a writing contest and the following year became a Golden Heart Finalist. That won me an agent and a contract from Kensington who published five of my western historical romance novels. My books have placed or won in other contests as well. Forever Mine received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award nomination. I've always loved the Old West and I believe my novels reflect that emotion through their depth and vibrancy. I am always working on a new story. I hope you try my books and enjoy them. Follow me here on my author page and on my website at https://charleneraddon.com & get a free book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Great Story

This is the first book I have read by Charlene Raddon. I can only say that I look forward eagerly to reading the next! I felt like I was there while reading it. Ms. Raddon creates her characters with such detail. I loved the detail of the story, both bad and good as it revealed what spousal abuse is really like and that it can be overcome. It shows how there is hope for a happier life and it showed the strength of an abused person. It was just a really good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be hard headed husbands...
Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2023

This book started out fast paced, kept my interest, there is violence against women in this read, rape, beatings, slaps in the face per the time period. Got slow towards the middle as heroine doesn't listen and keeps going off by herself, while her deadbeat husband is tracking her down to kill her & two men in the wagon train have the hots for her. For that reason I wanted to give 3.5 stars, but love the hero, he really changes for her, not sure if she noticed in time. Little too much heavy petting that didn't need to be there, almost like teenagers, hence 3.5 stars.

I like Charlene's descriptive writing. She describes enough to make you feel it yet not so much i get bored and want to start skimming over trying to find the story again.
I love the spicy novels too and this one didn't disappoint.
Her old west phrases/ prose is my fave!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good hero

Brianna is escaping an abusive husband. Hiring Columbus Nigh, fur trapper and backwoods man to get her to her sister who is starting out on the Oregon Trail with her husband, she is too late. Together Brianna and unsuspecting Col, join a wagon train to put as much distance as possible from her husband, but he is hard on her heels seeking vengeance.
I liked Columbus Nigh's character. Mocking at first at Brianna's inept attempts to do anything practical, he changes his attitude when he sees the physical results of her abuse. Tough yet gentle, he teaches her to respect herself.
