![]() When the new Sheriff starts harassing Megan, Jake gets involved, and they both soon are worried about why so many people seem interested in trespassing on their (adjoining) property. The novel concerns Megan McIntyre Hudson, a newly-widowed Senator's daughter, and Jake Kenyon, former Sheriff of Pitchlyn County, the rural part of Oklahoma where Megan has come after her husband's death. Despite the paranormal element (which involves the contemporary woman sort of 'channeling' an historical woman), this isn't really an SF or Fantasy book: it's quite solidly a genre Romance. The various strands of the story are well integrated, with the romance arising naturally as part of the story, rather than driving the story, and with the resolution of the book being more closely tied to the characters' solving their personal problems than to the culmination of their romance. ![]() Besides the romance element, there is a contemporary suspense story, and a link with an historical story. This novel was published in 1995, and won the Romance Writers of American Rita award for best Paranormal Romance. The book I read was The Covenant, by Modean Moon.
