ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: The Promise Tree 

Series: Montana Treasure #1 

Author: Janalyn Voigt 

Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink 

Release Date: May 5, 2021 

Genre: Christian, Historical/Western Romance 

A preacher’s daughter shouldn’t encourage a troublemaker—no matter what her wayward heart desires. 

Liberty has always believed she should marry a man of God, but Jake doesn’t qualify. The promises they’d made at age twelve can’t change that. If only Jake would stop pursuing her, she might keep from falling in love with him. 

Jake fears he’ll lose Liberty to Beau, the new man in town. He doesn’t trust the smooth-talker—and certainly not with Liberty. Expressing his opinion sounds jealous and pushes Liberty further away. Jake’s efforts to forget the woman he loves lands him in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. 

A bounty hunter on the trail of a notorious outlaw gallops into town, and Liberty finds herself in unexpected peril. When Jake rides after her, he faces a test of faith. Jake and Liberty must each overcome their own false beliefs. Only then can they experience the truth of God’s redeeming love. 

Set during a troubled time in America, the Montana Treasure series explores faith, courage, and love in the Wild West. Read this heartwarming story to affirm your faith in love.

EXCERPT

[Jake, the hero, reflects on his love for Liberty after she rejects him.]

Jake met no one on the way to town, which was fortunate. Sometimes a man needed privacy. Suspecting that would be the case this morning, he’d saddled and bridled Scout before saying goodbye to Liberty. The smoke curling from the town’s chimneys told the story of happy families gathered around the table. Breakfast would be over by now, but a cookfire took a while to die out.

Like a smoldering fire, love might linger but finally extinguish. He hoped so, because he didn’t want to go through life with this burden of sorrow. All he could do was carry it until it dwindled away, if it ever would. He had his doubts.

Jake wondered, not for the first time, why so many counted romantic love essential. Except for the brief interlude of bliss when he’d believed Liberty wanted to marry him, it had felt more like a kick in the chest. Love caused people to act stupidly, himself included.
