Celebration for A Love of His Own - a Brighton Charm

I like to celebrate my new releases with a contest. Prizes are a piece of jewelry that have significance to the story. A Love of His Own, a sequel to A Law of Her Own, and A Marshal of Her Own, is to be released on April 16, 2012 with The Wild Rose Press.

Here is a blurb for A Love of His Own.

Bull Dawson, New York lawyer, mourns the loss of his daughter, who disappeared from a cabin in Fredericksburg, Texas four years ago. A history book found in his office safe leads him to believe she traveled back in time to 1888 Prairie, Texas. He's determined that if she can time travel, he can too. Life will be different, probably hard, but practicing law can't be so difficult back in the Old West.

Widow Dipsey Thackson scratches out a living for herself and her young son on their farm. Shunned by the locals, she keeps to herself. When a man appears in her wheat field one day, life changes for the better. Then her brother-in-law arrives, claiming the farm is his and threatening Dipsey and her son. She fears for both their means of survival and their safety.

Her dilemma will take more than a knowledge of the law, but Bull vows to do his best to protect her and her boy.

Here's the prize, purchased specifically for this book. I think it's the perfect choice. You'll have to read the story to determine why.

Inscribed on the back is LOVE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES.
