A Woman of Strong Purpose - Paperback

by S. M. Harding (Author)

Welcome to McCrumb County, Indiana, where retired Marine Corps Colonel Win Kirkland and Sheriff Sarah Pitt had hoped that their deepening relationship might bring some peace and order to their complicated lives.

Freed from the closeted life after 25 years in the military, Win is fiercely out and proud--and ready for Sarah to move in. But the newly out Sarah has serious doubts about living as an open lesbian among her county's conservative population. She longs to overcome her fear of exposure, especially since several gorgeous and exotic women seem intent on seducing Win--and she knows she could lose Win to them or to a bullet.

Win and Sarah's personal struggles are soon overshadowed by a series of local and international crimes that will blur the lines between hostility and horror, friend and foe, sacrifice and survival.

A Woman of Strong Purpose is the heart-pounding follow-up to S. M. Harding's popular romantic mystery I Will Meet You There.
