Regina Jennings asked Regina Jennings:

Did you have a specific reader in mind when you wrote The Lieutenant's Bargain?

Regina Jennings Yes! Actually, this book was written for the late-bloomers of the world—those of us who were awkward, nerdy, and maybe spent too much time with books to have much social acuity. Everyone feels like they’ve been under-appreciated and there were times when people didn’t take the time to notice them. This story is a salute to them.

Although Jack Hennessey was a puny bookworm in his childhood, his years in the cavalry have rounded out his character and filled out his lanky frame. The only thing he hasn’t succeeded at is forgetting the girl from back home who never took any notice of him.

Years later, when he rescues Hattie Walker after a stagecoach robbery, Jack can’t believe his luck. Now, she’ll appreciate him and give him the respect he’s always deserved. If only he hadn’t ruined both of their lives with a colossal mistake.
