Book 1 of the Texas Ever After series
352 pages · First published 2023
Penelope Snow’s beauty has repeatedly attracted the wrong kind of attention, so she accepts work as a maid with a traveling actress and tries to make herself inconspicuous. Betrayed by her jealous employer and left in suspicious circumstances, she finds refuge with seven aging cowboys on a Texas ranch. Ranger Titus Kingsley distrusts attractive women after tragedy in his own family and is convinced Penelope may be hiding something dangerous. Karen Witemeyer’s Snow White-inspired Western romance combines found family, a suspicious lawman, and a heroine whose greatest challenge is convincing others that beauty is not evidence of guilt.
