A Moment to Love

by Tracie Peterson

Book 3 of the Hope of the Cheyenne series

305 pages · First published 2025

Dr. Carrie Vogel's medical research is stolen by her ex-fiancé, leaving her career and confidence badly shaken. Pinkerton agent Spencer Duval needs a convincing cover while hunting the man who murdered his father, so Carrie agrees to a marriage of convenience when both return to Cheyenne. Pretending affection becomes increasingly complicated as real feelings emerge and Spencer's pursuit of justice edges toward revenge. The Hope of Cheyenne finale blends historical medicine, Pinkerton investigation, marriage-of-convenience romance, faith, and the question of whether justice can be pursued without surrendering to bitterness. A strong choice for readers who enjoy marriages of convenience, undercover investigations, and a faith-filled romance that weighs justice against revenge.
