Please join me in congratulating Holly Bush on the publication of her newest historical romance, For the Brave, the first book in her new Gentrys of Paradise series! I had the pleasure of designing the cover. (And let me tell you it was no hardship spending my time looking for a hunky, rugged model :) Here's the book description:
1869 – Matthew Gentry joined the Confederate Army at eighteen years of age after an argument with his father, leaving Paradise, his Virginia home and famed horse breeding stables, for the fields of Gettysburg. Having survived the War Between the States, Gentry is haunted by the violence and inhumanity of the war. He continues to roam the country long after the conflict is over, finding solace in the arms of soiled doves and at the bottom of whiskey bottles. Finally traveling home after learning of a family tragedy, he nearly loses his life in a spring-flooded riverbed.
Annie Campbell, lone survivor of her family, lives at a remote farm near the North River, raising pigs and trying to grow enough to feed herself, and to stay out of the crosshairs of the Thurmans, violent men who run the town of Bridgewater. Annie’s secrets threaten her safety, even as she rescues and nurses Matthew Gentry.
Matthew knows he must return to Paradise, to grieve with his family. Will his heart lead him back to Bridgewater and Annie Campbell?
For the Brave is available now in ebook and print format on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iTunes. Add it to your shelves on Goodreads, and visit Holly's website for the scoop on all of her historical romances.
