Lacy

Sweet romance blossoms between people from two very different worlds.

Will the bonds of love be stronger than the bonds of tradition?

Eager to make her own way in the world, Lacy Williams leaves behind her family on the Umatilla Reservation and accepts a job in Pendleton at the telephone office as an operator. The work she takes in stride, but dealing with the unfamiliar, unsettling feelings stirred by the handsome banker across the street is an entirely different matter.

Grant Hill wants a wife.

However, not just any wife will do. If that were the case, he'd make an announcement at the mercantile and cause a stampede to the church. Grant wants a woman who will look beyond his material wealth and see into his heart. When he's all but given up on the possibility that such a woman exists, he runs into the lovely Lacy Williams.

The two of them must strive to discover if the bonds of love are stronger than the bonds of tradition in this sweet historical western romance.

Pendleton Petticoats Series

Set in the western town of Pendleton, Oregon, this series highlights courageous women and the men who love them.

The series begins in 1899, as Pendleton heads into a new century and an era as a booming, bustling city. During the early 1900s, Pendleton was considered a modern, progressive town, despite a wild west reputation. In addition to 18 bordellos and 32 saloons, Pendleton offered residents such cultured experiences as an opera house, a French restaurant, and a tea room. It was the second city in Oregon to have paved streets and boasted a telephone office as well as wonders like indoor plumbing to those who could afford the services.

Servicing a huge region in Eastern Oregon, it was an entertainment hub, shipping center, and so much more, especially with the millions of bushels of wheat and pounds of wool produced in the area.

While the town didn't lack for colorful characters, those portrayed in the Pendleton Petticoats series are purely fictional.

Coming from a variety of backgrounds, the series showcases women from all walks of life who find their courage and persevere in chasing their dreams.
