A woman with secrets. A deputy who won't stop asking questions. A love they never saw coming.
On the run from the Italian mafia, Caterina Campanelli flees New York City and lands in the rugged small town of Pendleton, Oregon. Determined to start over, she pours her heart into building a new life as a chef-and keeps her past locked tightly away. Except a persistent lawman keeps asking questions... making her heart race for more than one reason.
Deputy Kade Rawlings is devoted to protecting his town and the people in it. Steady, honorable, and stubbornly independent, he has no intention of falling for a woman with secrets. But the spirited Italian beauty with a guarded past and a gift for unforgettable cooking is impossible to ignore.
As sparks fly and trust begins to grow, Caterina must decide if she can risk everything-including her safety-for a chance at love. Because when danger arrives on her doorstep, the truth could cost her the future she's only just begun to build, and the man she's come to love.
A heartwarming sweet historical western romance, Caterina features a protective deputy, a strong-willed heroine, small-town charm, slow-burn romance, and a fresh start worth fighting for.
Welcome to Pendleton, Oregon, where wounded hearts find healing, laughter softens life's hardships, and love often arrives when it's least expected. The Pendleton Petticoats series is filled with resilient heroines, honorable heroes, and uplifting romances that will leave you smiling.
