Maisy’s Gamble
Western Historical Romance
For years, Maisy McCoubrie, a woman haunted by a past filled with betrayal and tragedy, has managed to stay out of the clutches of one Gold Kingsley. But now, dealing Faro in saloons and hiding her illegitimate son from the world—and his father—she spots Kingsley on the street and jumps onto a departing train, once more on the run.
Tasked by Kingsley with finding Maisy, The Preacher, a notorious man with a shadowy history, harbors doubts about the man’s plans for her. When The Preacher stumbles upon a seemingly lifeless saloon girl, he learns Kingsley’s cruelty knows no bounds. But again, Kingsley turns the tables on his enemy and frames The Preacher for the girl’s murder.
As danger looms, The Preacher and Maisy are drawn together by a force more potent than revenge. Their shared quest to bring Kingsley to justice unites their hearts in a story of unlikely alliances turned passionate devotion.
In this western historical romance, love blossoms amidst the dust and danger of the Old West, and justice is found in the most unexpected places. Join Maisy and The Preacher as they navigate a treacherous path toward happiness, leaving a trail of redemption and reckoning in their wake.

* * * * * Excellent story – had a hard time putting it down! “This was my first book by Charlene Raddon and I look forward to many more!

* * * * * Divine Gamble! “Wow…what a wonderful book. I enjoy reading every book this Author writes, always an adventure waiting to take me along with the main characters. Maisy and The Preacher were both wonderful characters, it was so easy to root for them and their HEA. Dan was a character of his own and had my heart from the beginning and I was brought to tears close to end for Dan. As always, a well written storyline that entertain me to the very end. JudyE” ~ Arlene Judy Esposito
* * * * * Suspenseful historical romance “This book is beyond a historical western romance. All of those elements are there, especially focusing on life in the saloons and gambling dens, but it is a suspenseful book of a woman gambling for a living while gambling that she will stay safe from a huge danger in her past. The hero of the book should be the bad guy but can’t find it in himself to be that. That sentence should set you up to realize that Ms. Raddon is an author who allows her characters to develop and change throughout the story. There is some violence and a bit of sexual scenes (that aren’t overly sensual but come off of sweet and tender) but these don’t dominate this suspenseful love story. ” ~ MichTeach
