It’s Thursday again — time for another book giveaway from Bethany House. But first, here are the winners for my two most recent giveaways:

Stepping Into Sunlight — Comment #45, Sheri

Hello Love CD (Chris Tomlin) — Comment #30, cj

Congrats! Okay, on to this week’s giveaway!

Here’s how the giveaways work:

Every Thursday, I post about a new book that’s up for grabs. If it sounds like a book you’d like and you want to be eligible to win it, just leave a comment on the post and I’ll put your name in the virtual hat. I’ll leave the post open for comments until the following Wednesday at noon. I’ll then randomly pick a commenter and announce that person as the winner when I put up the next giveaway.

Please make sure that when you leave a comment, you include an email address so I can contact you easily. Also, I apologize to any international readers, but these giveaways are limited to readers in the U.S. or Canada.

So, without further ado, the first book is:

A Promise to Believe In
by Tracie Peterson

Bestselling author Tracie Peterson returns to the breathtaking Montana wilderness in her eagerly anticipated new series, BRIDES OF GALLATIN COUNTY, which chronicles the triumphs and tribulations of the three sassy, endearing Gallatin sisters.

A Promise to Believe In, the first in the series, follows Gwen, the eldest, as she learns to let go of the pain that haunts her past. While the story is loaded with her signature doses of romance and adventure, Peterson’s insightful focus on the power of guilt in people’s lives makes this series debut thoroughly relevant to today’s reader.

After years spent following their father and his wanderlust, the three Gallatin sisters begin to fashion a life for themselves in the Montana wilds, operating a roadhouse at the crossroads of two stage lines.

When their father is accidentally killed, however, the oldest sister, Gwen, reasons that she’s cursed. After all, death seems to haunt her every step: her mother, her father…and Harvey.

As the sisters work to maintain the roadhouse, an unexpected visitor arrives, sending Gwen into turmoil. Is he whom he claims to be? And can she dare to hope that love might again be hers?

The thrill of times past, a blend of humor and romance, and a message of hope intertwine in a story that gracefully portrays the timeless bond of sisterhood.

I’ve really enjoyed the books I’ve read so far by Tracie Peterson. What I’ve read has been series books, not any of her stand-alone books. I love that this is the first in a series. I can’t start in the middle!

Enter me, please ma’m! :)
