An entrancing historical romance set in 1800 Philadelphia and Kentucky! When Daniel discovers the truth of his parentage, he abandons Philadelphia for the frontier. But will the search for his biological father get in the way of his budding love for beautiful Ann?

Philadelphia cowers before a mysterious killer--Yellow Fever. Daniel Armitage and his family are respected members of Philadelphia society. But their status cannot save Daniel's loved ones. His entire family succumbs to the horrifying disease. His mother's startling deathbed confession shakes Daniel to his soul. Another man is really his father. His search for his real father takes him to Kentucky--the edge of the western frontier. Seeking a father with a different last name, he is now considered an illegitimate bastard and is scorned by everyone, even himself.

Captivated by her beauty and fierce independence, Daniel seeks to court Ann but her father won't allow her near a man born out of wedlock. The humiliation of illegitimacy subjects Daniel to social and legal discrimination. And ruthless, back-stabbing Charles Snyder is obsessed with having Ann for himself. Snyder terrorizes Daniel's new family and the entire town. Bear's act of unequivocal love grants Daniel a chance for happiness. But only Ann's courage can save it.

Title Book Three: LOVE’S GLORY (Wilderness Hearts Historical Romances Book 3)

Author Dorothy Wiley

Genre: American Historical Romance

Book Blurb:

Mesmerizing, LOVE'S GLORY delivers the same richly descriptive settings, breathtaking action, and emotional sincerity that Wiley's readers have come to expect from her other American Wilderness and Wilderness Hearts novels.

In the fall of 1810, Allison Forbes has just inherited her father's prosperous Virginia plantation. Her father's last wish was that she visit her Aunt Catherine Wyllie in Kentucky before she decides if she should keep the plantation. She intends to keep it but honors her promise to her father. Her journey to Kentucky is eventful and not what she expected. The only other passenger on her stage is a middle-aged, gun-toting, gambling, salty preacher with a questionable past named Jason 'Baldy' Grant. Despite his unusual demeanor and behavior, Baldy becomes her protector and friend and eases her grief as he escorts her to Kentucky.

After serving in Kentucky's militia, Little John Wyllie returns to his family's thriving horse farm and finds himself trying to decide what to do with his future. But his future is put on hold when his family's lives and land are threatened. Swindler Brandt Stoker and the men of Crab Orchard plan to wage a fierce turf war against the Wyllies. Little John, along with his father and uncles, must defend those he loves and his home from this greedy land grabber and the mob Stoker skillfully incites.

From the moment she arrives, Little John is strongly drawn to Allison. But as he fights to save the family's land, he faces other problems, one an unsolvable obstacle that seriously complicates their courtship. His feet and heart are firmly planted in Kentucky and Allison, understandably, will not give up her heritage, the plantation her father worked so hard to build. Allison fights her attraction to Little John, knowing nothing can come of it. But Little John, in true Wyllie fashion, refuses to give up on their love.

Wiley's most inspirational book to date, LOVE'S GLORY delivers a moving and hopeful message about the power of love and redemption.
