Lasting Promise - Susanna Lane

Character driven, emotionally charged, and action packed... with heartache, jealousy, love, remorse, and hatred determining the outcomes.

Can Love Survive The Secrets Buried Deep In The Plains?

Gus Quaid has endured life’s cruelest blows-none more devastating than the loss of his wife to a Brule Sioux raid. Content with solitude and his work as an Army scout, he avoids entanglements until a bold, city-bred beauty in a Fort Benton saloon catches his eye. Intrigued by her fire and desperation, he makes a daring proposal-and is promptly rejected. But Gus isn’t one to walk away from a challenge.

Tori Barrett has known betrayal and hardship, first by a husband who left her broken, then by a business partner with dangerous demands.

On the run and desperate for a way out, she sees in Gus a chance at safety, even if his penetrating gaze unsettles her carefully guarded secrets. With the promise of protection, she boards the Nellie Peck bound for Fort Randall, but Tori quickly learns Gus’s trust is hard-won-and easily shattered.

As the pair journey toward the railroad, the rugged plains strip away pretense, forcing them to confront old wounds and undeniable longing. But Tori’s past has a long reach, and when they arrive in Ogallala, it brings a reckoning neither of them expects.

Faced with betrayal, guilt, and a shocking revelation from Gus’s own shattered past, they must decide if the love growing between them is strong enough to survive-or if the frontier will claim their hearts, as it has so many before.

Author Website

"Lane effectively captures the sweeping Nebraska landscape of the time period and the spirit of the settlers. I'm hoping the wait for book three will not be too long. Lane has definitely perfected the Western genre of romance."

FULL BOOK REVIEW

"Enduring Promise is a story that could only be told about the West, and only written by someone with a deep love of its landscape and language. The complex characters draw readers into their lives as they are tested by hardship, and which they overcome through bonds of love, loyalty, and family."

"Susanna Lane easily transports her readers back to a time when America was still raw, wild, and real, yet she never forgets the tenderness of genuine love. It's no wonder that Lane has risen to prominence within the Western Romance genre!"
