Claiming Mariah by Pam Hillman
Pam Hillman is our guest today. She was born and raised on a
dairy farm in Mississippi and spent her teenage years perched on the seat of a
tractor raking hay. In those days, her daddy couldn’t afford two cab tractors
with air conditioning and a radio, so Pam drove the Allis Chalmers 110. Even
when her daddy asked her if she wanted to bale hay, she told him she didn’t
mind raking. Raking hay doesn’t take much thought so Pam spent her time working
on her tan and making up stories in her head. Now, that’s the kind of life
every girl should dream of! Claiming Mariah is her
second novel. Pam Hillman.
If we get five or more comments on this blog post I will
pick a winner using Random.org and Pam will give the winner an eBook of Claiming Mariah .
About Claiming Mariah:
In light of her father’s death,
Mariah Malone sends a letter that will forever alter the lives of her family.
When Slade Donovan, strong willed and eager for vengeance, shows up on her
front porch, Mariah is not ready to hear his truths: her father’s farm, the
only home she’s ever known, was bought with stolen gold. With Slade ready to
collect his father’s rightful claim and force Mariah and her family out on the
streets, Mariah must turn to God for guidance. Though Mr. Fredrick Cooper, a
local landowner, promises to answer her financial woes if she agrees to be his
bride, Mariah finds herself drawn instead to the angry young man demanding her
home.
With the ranch now under Slade’s careful eye, he will unearth more than he ever imagined as a devious plot of thievery, betrayal and murder threatens more than the well-being of the ranch, endangering the lives of those who hold it dear. With days dwindling until the rest of the Donovan clan arrive to the Lazy M ranch, Mariah and Slade must rise above the resentment of their fathers and see their true feelings before greed alters their futures forever.

Lisa, glad you stopped by and left a comment. Good luck in the drawing.
DeleteLisa, I'm with Jo. WHOO-HOO! Go glad you came by. Love us some cowboys.
DeleteMy personal cowboy is a tall, broad-shouldered man. Quiet, doesn't say much, but rock-solid in his convictions and his beliefs.
A nice counterpoint to my constant state of undecidedness! lol
thanks for the chance to read this wonderful story ;)
