Lee Ann Turner is the fiction author of the Journey series, a historical romance set in the 1800's.

Sitting in the dirt on the side of the road with a lame horse, sore feet and holding her crying newborn cousin, the young woman burst into tears. Usually very competent and courageous, Willow Long felt like her day had gone from bad to worse. She looked up to see a big man on a horse ride around the curve in the narrow road cut through the Ouachita Mountain wilderness.

Sheriff Zack Smith had been trying to recognize some sounds unusual to the forest when he rode around a curve in the road. He couldn't have been more surprised when he saw a beautiful young woman in apparent distress. He quickly assured her of his respectability and took her to his brother Lige's homestead for help.

With the baby safely taken care of, Willow and Zack set out to find her missing father and uncle, suspected of being part of a gang of horse thieves. Their quest is complicated by members of the outlaw gang they encounter on their journey.

Their relationship becomes more complicated by their mutual attraction. Both dream of settling down with a homestead and family.

Will they succeed in finding Willow's father and uncle? Are all the horse thieves brought to justice? Will the dreams of Willow and Zack come true, or end in disaster.
