The Sparrow: A Steamy Paranormal Historical Western Romance
About this ebook
“Readers will love the story…” ~ RT Book Reviews
In 1877, Emma Hart comes to Grand Canyon—a wild, rugged, and, until recently, undiscovered area. Plagued by visions and gifted with a second sight, she searches for answers about the tragedy of her past, the betrayal of her present, and an elusive future that echoes through her very soul. Joined by her power animal Sparrow, she ventures into the depths of Hopi folklore, forced to confront an evil that has lived through the ages.
Texas Ranger Nathan Blackmore tracks Emma Hart to the Colorado River, stunned by her determination to ride a wooden dory along its course. But in a place where the ripples of time run deep, he’ll be faced with a choice. He must accept the unseen realm, the world beside this world, that he turned away from years ago, or risk losing the woman he has come to love more than life itself.
A sensuous historical western romance set in 1877 Arizona Territory.
The Sparrow is an epic love story amid the magic and danger of the Grand Canyon of the Old West, along with strong paranormal elements as the heroine undergoes a shamanic awakening. Don’t miss this western with a different flavor that has a happily-ever-after romance and medium spice.

Life is a wondrous endeavor, and she strives to bring that sense of awe and joy into the tales she weaves, along with in-depth research into settings and time periods.
