Tom Seymour discombobulates her. He’s arrogant and unrepentant. But when she’s forced to nurse his injuries, she realizes that his persona is all a facade. The man underneath is wounded and kind and in need of redemption.

But Tom must make a choice between his old life and the chance to make a new one with Ida. Can she trust the man he is becoming or will he betray her?

My Thoughts on Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold is a sweet Christian historical fiction novel that you’re going to love all about love and redemption.  How just becomes someone appears bad doesn’t mean they are truly bad to the core.  Everyone deserves a second chance at life and love.

Come and laugh along with the family when a prisoner is brought home for Christmas.  I mean, who does that?  Who brings a prisoner home to your family?  But because Ida’s brother does she gets the chance to care for the man who saved her life.  Except he’s an outlaw!

But what if he’s not truly an outlaw?  I mean yes he is and he did but what if that’s not who he truly is?  What if she finds the sweet man inside?  And then what?  Does he go get hanged?  Is he gonna spend his life in jail while she pines at home?

Maybe you should go read the book to find out!

Disclaimer though.  This is part of a series.  If you haven’t read the previous book at least with some back story on Ida and Tom you’re gonna feel a bit lost.  So make sure you read at least the other book that features Ida and Tom. Or do something wild and crazy and read the whole series!  This is book 17.

About the Author of Heart of Gold

Lacy Williams wishes her writing career was more like what you see in Hallmark movies: dreamy brainstorming from a French chateau or a few minutes at the computer in a million-dollar New York City penthouse. In reality, she’s up before the sun, putting words on the page before her kids wake up for the day. Those early-morning and late-night writing sessions add up, and Lacy has published sixty books in a decade, first with a big-five publisher and then as an indie author.

When she needs to refill the well, you can find Lacy birdwatching, gardening, biking with the kiddos, or walking the dog.

More from Lacy

Do you like “stranded together” stories as much as I do? Being stuck in an airport, a snowstorm, a wedding weekend… Yes, please, to all of the above.

But has it ever happened to you in real life?

Twenty-plus years ago, when I was a freshman in college and before I started dating my handsome hubby, I dated this other guy.

We met at a mixer during the first few days of the semester and hit it off pretty quickly. Classes started, we saw each other a few times socially.

He was pledging a fraternity and invited me to go with him on a co-ed overnight trip.

And then when we got there, he sort of just… disappeared.

For hours.

I finally found him and then followed him around… until I finally got the hint. Sometime in the days between when he’d invited me to the float trip, and when we arrived, his feelings changed.

It was SOOO awkward for the rest of the night and then the next day. Not the place and time I wanted to be ghosted. And it was worse because I’d ridden down with a mutual friend and had no way to get the two-plus hours home until the next day.

It wasn’t a romantic or fun time.

More like a disaster.

A disaster is precisely what my heroine Ida thinks about being stuck with ex-bad guy Tom for Christmas. They get snowed in with her family (and her deputy older brother) and at first, it is awkward.

And then… it’s not awkward anymore.

By the time the snow melts, Ida has caught feelings for Tom.

You can read this story free in KU or win a copy through this giveaway! Ida and Tom’s love story is called Heart of Gold.
