She’s struggled her entire life to overcome her parentage.

Skye Stratton is nearly perfect. Or at least, she tries to be. She carries the Stratton name, but everyone knows her true half-breed heritage. When she completes her education and is hired as a teacher at the local school, she hopes to finally find acceptance in the town. But when most of her class elects to stay home rather than be taught by an Indian, she knows things will never change.

Alan McNaughten went to Washington, D.C. to make a difference. Instead, he finds himself entrenched in political lies, manipulation, and deceit. When he finds a way to return home to Texas as an Indian Agent, he leaps at the chance. Even if he must hurt an innocent woman to secure his position.

But when the lovely Miss Stratton agrees to teach for the Alabama-Coushatta Reservation, Alan knows he’s gone too far. He’ll do anything to protect her from further heartache and harm.

But what will happen when she learns the truth about her position…and the truth about him?

My Thoughts on Legacy of Love

First, let me say that this is a series. This is book two. So make sure you go grab book one to read first. In book one we meet our lovely heroine as a young girl. Skye came to live with the Stratton family as a young girl and they didn’t really know what to do with her. Now she’s all grown and well-loved but she still feels like she’s not quite accepted and wants to truly belong somewhere.

This author is wonderful with historical fiction. Her books roll and read like you’re watching the scenes of a movie. I’ve yet to read one of her books that doesn’t make me want to keep reading even after the last page has been turned. You’re going to love this one!

Alan has secrets of his own and keeps them close to his chest. What happens when sparks fly between him and Skye? Can they truly have a future together or will uncertainty and more keep them apart? I hope you get the chance to read this book. But remember, read book one and then book two and get two great reads in!

More from Renae

Enough

All my life, since I can remember, I’ve been told I’m part Native American. My great-great-grandmother on my mother’s side, they said, was full-blooded Comanche. So even though I am blonde and fair (I have glow-in-the-dark skin), I believed them. I told people and laughed at their sideways looks.

I was proud of my heritage.

Then I took one of those Ancestry DNA tests.

Nope.

Not one drop of Native American in me.

According to the test, I’m English, Scottish, Irish, and Swedish. And yes, I am the biological child of my father (very blonde and fair) and my mother (brunette, with high cheekbones). So I guess it’s just the way the genetic dominoes fell.

When I got my mom’s half, I apparently didn’t get the Native American part.

I’m not sure how the science of DNA works, but I will tell you I feel extremely connected to Skye, the heroine of Legacy of Love.

She’s a perfectionist. I’m a perfectionist.

She thinks she has to perform to be accepted. I do, too.

Though she’s always been loved, she struggles to fit in, to feel like she’s really a part of things.

Ditto.

Skye’s journey is both difficult and beautiful.

It helps that there’s a dreamy beaux (or three!) along the way. But in all the hardship and heartache, she finds herself. And she finds that she’s enough, exactly as she is. Most importantly, she finds a relationship with the One who created her and loved her before time began.

I hope you enjoy Skye’s journey in book two of The Stratton Legacy series. If you haven’t read book one, I encourage you to do so—you’ll meet Skye as a child. More than anything, I hope you’ll glean some beautiful truths along the way.

You are precious.

You are loved.

And, you are enough.
