Description
In 1872, life can change as unexpectedly as the prairie winds.
All her life, Livvie McLain has dreamed of the kind of love she read about in her grandparents’ letters written to each other while courting. Nevertheless, she believes her mother's prophecy—she wasn't born with that kind of fortune. When she falls for the ruggedly handsome and witty cowboy, Justus Bennett, Livvie finds herself in a dreadful predicament. She believes he must be too good to be true and she is unworthy.
Justus has spent the past six years consumed in the affairs of his inherited family ranch; the same ranch he once ran away from, vowing he would never return. Now, he's ready for a love to share his home and livelihood with, but his prospects of finding her are slim to none. When Olivia Palmer, a.k.a. Livvie McLain, tumbles into his life, he knows he's found the one with whom he wants to spend his life.
However, Livvie’s own web of secrets, including the man Livvie dared to escape, is threatening to destroy their chance at a future together.

Advance Praise
Love's Arrival draws the reader into a fully realized, authentic imagining of life in the Colorado Territory during the 1870s, a few years after the end of the Civil War. Livvie's journey to Colorado to escape her ill-intentioned brother-in-law kicks off a delightful western romance, rich with historic dialogue and details. Amanda Speights expertly balances realistic period dialogue, well-drawn descriptions, and the characters' inner thoughts for an exciting story with a satisfying ending. With their harrowing pasts, Livvie and Justus are well developed protagonists, and the reader can't help but root for their relationship to blossom and grow.
