About

Allison Knight has been reading for many, many years. Even during the busy years of teaching and raising her family, Allison read, often late into the night, loving those books with happy endings.
 
Her love of romance gave her the incentive to try to write one of her own. She did and the rest is history. Her fifteenth book will be released from Champagne Books in August. It's a sequel to
her awarding winning novel "Heartsong" which, in true Allison Knight fashion, is a historical romance set in 13th century England.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<strong><font size="2">MarthaE<br /></font></strong><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica;">REVIEW: I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely and heartwarming historical western! <br />Sara has left her home in Philadelphia to escape a marriage being forced upon her by her Aunt. She has traveled to the Yukon Territory to join her father who has written to her that he has a treasure for her. Although Sara is not prepared for the wilderness and cold, she is a very determined young lady and she is not going to be defeated! <br />Bear is a gruff &quot;bear&quot; of a man who picks Sara up &quot;in town&quot; to deliver her to his cabin where hei father is staying. Bear and Sara's father have become good friends over many years. Bear is resourceful and able but he is basically closed off. He is taciturn and at first barely speaks to Sara as he trudges her through the rough paths on the many day journey from town to home. <br />Sara arrives to find her father dying. She does all she can to help and in the process becomes mistress of the cabin, making it a home rather than just a dwelling. But Bear lost his wife and child before he buried himself in the mountains and he does not believe he is worthy to ever have a woman again, much less fall in love. He does everything he can to resist the warmth that Sara brings to the cabin. He is determined to send her home as quickly as possible but fate works to strand her there for the winter months. There is a fair share of misunderstanding and doubt, especially for Sara who thinks she is unlikable since Bear is so eager to send her on her way. <br />Although there are some bad guys trying to find the rumored treasure and some friends too, the story really centers on Sara and Bear and life in the harsh but beautiful setting. The author has done a good job of building a picture and an understanding for the rough little mining town and the isolation of the cabin. She also has created two characters that draw you into rooting for them to give in to the sensuous passion, love and life that they clearly could share if only they will take the chance. This is a wonderful story that you will want to read so you can discover the truth of Sara's treasure! <br /></span>
