River Sloane is a romance writer who travels to Vargas Guest Ranch & Resort to restart her career. Her publisher wants her to stop writing workplace romances and switch to cowoby romance. This scene is when things click for her. In a way, this excerpt is a peek into my hope for my books too.
--Author Karen Baney ________
That. That was what readers wanted. A handsome, chivalrous, kind cowboy. The perfect picture of manliness and Americana. An icon that harkened back to a time where men were manly and family values meant something. Not the baffling world view screaming at them all day, every day, demoralizing their very soul—her very soul.
She quickly scrawled the words from her mind onto the tablet. This would be the theme to anchor her in the unfamiliar subgenre. If she accepted it, her new mission was to bring stories with strong family values to worn out women. Stories that boasted men as God designed them to be. Strong. Courageous. Yet, submitted to their Lord and Savior—exhibiting the love of Christ in their interactions with those around them. Family. Faith. Freedom in Christ.
