New Release: “Lasting Promise” by Susanna Lane

“Lasting Promise” is an emotionally charged and rich frontier romance that relates a story of love, trust, and resilience. Gus Quaid and Tori Barrett, had faced hardships in different ways and now, against the harsh landscape of the American plains, they must learn to trust each other. Beyond storytelling, it is a literary journey that immerses readers in the lives, struggles, and passions of unforgettable characters.

Gus Quaid has endured life’s cruelest blows, none more devastating than the loss of his young wife to a Brule raid. Filled with remorse, he signs on as an Army scout with hopes of finding his wife among the camps. Then he encounters Victoria (Tori) Barrett in a Fort Benton saloon, her poise and beauty set her apart from all others. Finding himself attracted, she curtly rejects him.

Tori has stolen money, money she believes is owed to her. Now on the run, she sees in the tall mountain-of-a-man as a protector. Deciding to use him might not be wise but she is scared.

On the other hand, Gus views Tori as secretive, haughty, and manipulative… yet he still sees something in her that won’t stop tugging at his heart.

In the end, he is left with no choice but to guide her to the UP as they face danger and surprises as they move closer to Ogallala where he has his own mission to fulfill. Neither of them are prepared for the breath-stealing surprise that renews the wedge of distrust between them.

Can he ever believe anything she says? Will she overcome years of heartache and betrayal to finally face the love between them… or will the plains bury their hearts like it has so many others.

The main characters will keep you on the edge of your seat as they overcome danger and deliver ongoing tension. The minor characters will stay with you, even after you close the book. Readers have no choice to laugh and cry as they follow Gus and Tori’s trials and tribulation… not to mention their haunting pasts.
