A bestseller at Whiskey Creek Press! 

When Jade Mackenzie ventures through Wyoming Territory on her way to adventure and fortune in the Black Hills, the last person she wants to see is Landon Burdett, the man she holds responsible for her father's death eight years earlier. After her traveling companion abandons her at Landon's ranch, however, Jade discovers qualities about the man that conflict with her feelings of resentment toward him. How can she care so much about someone who has caused her such grief? 

The accidental drowning of Jade's father still haunts Landon, and he's held strong feelings for the girl ever since that terrible day. His memories of Jade as a darling tomboy are shattered when she arrives at his ranch fully grown...and utterly beautiful. An unexpected kiss ignites a shared passion neither of them wishes to acknowledge. Will old hurts continue to keep them apart, or can they reconcile the past?

Praise for THE SWEETEST GIFT:

"Janet Mills has crafted a poignant story that tugs at the heartstrings. This sensuous tale will delight lovers of historical westerns." -Lea Moyer, Affaire de Coeur

"THE SWEETEST GIFT was so great that once I started reading it I could not put it down. I quickly fell in love with little Will who had a heart of gold and faced such big challenges for a little boy. Jade and Landon were both such strong characters that they just fit so well together. Janet Mills is an incredibly gifted writer who I will definitely be looking out for in the future." 4.5 Blue Ribbons! -Dina Smith, Romance Junkies

"THE SWEETEST GIFT is a beautifully written tale dated around Custer's last stand. Janet Mills has taken the era and painted it so expertly, you could almost feel the breeze blowing through the grasses, see the sparkling water as it flowed on down through the river. THE SWEETEST GIFT is a tale about accountability to those whom you care for the most... Ms. Mills has aptly demonstrated her skill as a writer with flair." 4 Slippers! -Emilie Spargo for Romantic Interludes/Novelspot

"The kind of love story that stays with you long after the book is finished, this is a real must read... I enjoyed it immensely. Jade Mackenzie is a true woman of the west!" -Rita Hestand, Ivy Quill Reviews

"Well researched and sensually romantic, this book was a delight to read! Especially clever was the way the author incorporated history into the story. A trip to a mining camp, an encounter with Sioux warriors, and a Fourth of July picnic, all come alive for the reader, thanks to the author's descriptions. This reviewer's favorite glimpse of history was the memorable cameo appearance made by Calamity Jane. Open up The Sweetest Gift and bring this romantic past into the present." -Joyce, Love Romances
