When my publisher, Zondervan, sent me the cover for my next release, Betrayal, my breath caught in my chest. I loved it the instant I saw it, and I still feel the same way now. The cover designer captured Hugh so perfectly. Makes me impatient for the book's release. Not a good thing since there is much work still to be done on it––macro edit to complete, followed by line edit, copy edit, and page proofs.
I have held off sharing the cover before this, but earlier today, I discovered that it's been posted to the publisher's web site. Thus, I could not wait another day to share it. I put it up on Facebook first, and my friends seem to like it as much as I do.
BETRAYAL
Book 2, Where the Heart Lives seriesIt’s the turn of the twentieth century and drifter Hugh Brennan is a man well acquainted with betrayal. Hugh finds himself drawn to the attractive widow, Julia, yet when he looks into her eyes, he recognizes the same hurt that haunts him.
Julia Grace has little reason to trust men, but she’s going to have to trust someone if she’s to keep her ranch from the clutches of her dead husband’s half-brother. Is it possible God had a hand in bringing Hugh to her door?
The latest historical romance from award-winning author Robin Lee Hatcher and the second book in the Where the Heart Lives series, Betrayal will take you to the high desert of western Wyoming, through the crags of the Rocky Mountains, and into the hearts of two seekers learning to trust God’s love no matter the circumstances.
Betrayal will be my 66th release. I'm often asked if it is as exciting now as it was early in my career. The answer is, Yes. And it is all the more exciting when the publisher has given it a dynamite package like this one.
