She wants to return to her true love. He wants to become her true love. After her mother’s death, Glorianna Wilton is forced to join her father at his Arizona army post. Leaving the comforts of a big eastern city—not to mention her only hope for marriage—makes Glorianna livid. She wants to see her father, but not at the cost of living away from civilization as she knows it.
Lieutenant Conlon Sullivan believes his prayers for a suitable wife have been answered when feisty Glory arrives at the fort. Her attempts to hold him at bay and assure him of her quick return to the East only serve to increase the ardor of his pursuit.
Can Glorianna find beauty in the Arizona desert? In the serenity of the morning sunrise? In the new friendships that come her way and perhaps feelings for a certain lieutenant? If she is willing to accept Conlon's love and faith, will a conniving female and a drunken outlaw steal the joy she has gained?

Nancy J. Farrier grew up on a small farm in the Midwest amidst a close-knit family and a large extended family. She loved farm life including the animals, cooking, gardening and canning, but not so much the cleaning house part. A little-known fact is that she preferred to help with feeding cattle or mending fence than helping with housework.
In school Nancy often got in trouble in history class for hiding a fiction book in her text book to read during the teacher’s lecture. Or, she daydreamed her way through classes, writing stories in her head instead of paying attention to the teacher. English and Literature were her favorite classes.
Now, a best-selling, award winning author of historical and contemporary Christian fiction, Nancy lives in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona and loves to research and include bits of history in her books. She often incorporates her love of the Southwest into her settings as the Southwest has a rich history that lends itself to fiction, and historical characters that come to life on the page.
