Camille Dupree hoped to leave her shocking past behind when she moved to Willow Grove, Texas. She soon learned a good heart was a valued commodity and grew to admire the town's mayor, Tyler McKinnon, who helped her become a respectable businesswoman. But when her hard-won acceptance was threatened, Camille found she needed the town's forgiveness...and Tyler's. Could she trust the man she loved to bend his principles and extend the pardon that would bless them both?
The book is well written and touches you emotions in good way. Loved all the characters and enjoyed it very much.
Historical Fiction at it's BEST!

For my first Gillenwater novel, I am blown away. I have already re-read it more that twice! The sweet and cute love story Gillenwater brings to me is adorable. Nothing like seeing two people who are God-fearing and in love. Ty McKinnon is the town mayor. When along comes Camille Dupree to deal cards at the local saloon. Realizing that the women of the town would look down on her, Ty persuades her not to become a card dealer. She transforms into a respectable businesswoman. Until her past comes back to find her. You can't change your history. They are falling in love until Camille's ex-boyfriend comes back with claims of adultery. Ty disappears and leaves Camille to face the music alone. When he realizes that he loved Camille Dupree, not the old sinful one. Best love story I've read in months! Keep on Writing, Ms. Gillenwater, Keep On Writing!
