Wyoming Tryst (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780986134784)

Two ranching tycoons. A decades-old feud. A sheriff bent on ridding the town of lawlessness . . .

In the midst of the trouble brewing in Laramie City in 1878, Julia Carson yearns to be free of her parents' smothering and wonders whether she'll ever find a man worthy to love in such a violent town rife with outlaws.

But when Robert Morrison sneaks onto her ranch the night of her sixteenth birthday party, Cupid shoots his arrows straight and true. Aware that their courtship would be anathema to their fathers, who are sworn enemies, Robert and Julia arrange a tryst.

Yet, their clandestine dalliance does not go unnoticed, and forces seek to destroy what little hope their romance has to bloom. The star-crossed lovers face heartache and danger as violence erupts. When all hope is lost, Joseph Tuttle, the new doctor at the penitentiary, is given a letter and a glass vial from Cheyenne medicine woman Sarah Banks.

The way of escape poses deadly dangers, but it is the only way for Robert and Julia to be together. It will take the greatest measure of faith and courage to come through unscathed, but love always conquers fear.

The Examiner says of author Charlene Whitman: "An adequate writer of historical fiction will include minor bits and pieces about the setting of their story. A good writer will do a bit of research to make sure there are historical facts included in the pages of their novel. A superb writer will create characters that could have actually lived during the time in which the story takes place and allows them to act as people in that time period would have really acted. Charlene Whitman is a superb writer."

Colorado Promise:

"A fresh new voice in Historical Romance, Charlene Whitman captured me from the beginning with characters I won't soon forget, a sizzling-sweet romance, a love triangle, spiteful villains, heart-throbbing heroes, and a plot full of intrigue that kept me guessing. Ms. Whitman's magnificent research transported me to the Colorado plains and left me longing to join the characters amid the wildflower-dotted fields, rushing rivers, and panoramic Rocky Mountains. Fans of Historical Western Romance will not soon forget Colorado Promise." -best-selling romance author Marylu Tyndall

Colorado Hope:

"A great writer paints stunning pictures with words. Ms. Whitman is a great writer. Her characters are realistic and unique; their reactions to the oft-outlandish circumstances in which they are placed are genuine and often heart-wrenching. I read much of this book with tears in my eyes. A definite page-turner." -M. Anderson

Colorado Dream:

"A courageous protagonist in relentless pursuit of her dream hooked me from the first page of this wonderful novel. Whitman's 'sweet romance' is just that and so much more-her characters are deep and thought-provoking, the story well paced. And her research is impeccable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be reading the others in this series." -award-winning author Ginny Yttrup
