About the Book

Book: Shoot at the Sunset

Author: Kathleen Denly

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: April 9, 2024

Will love survive when truth takes aim at their secrets?

Sharpshooter Preston Baker has spent a lifetime confronting danger head-on. So when a heartfelt letter arrives from his big sister asking for help, he doesn’t hesitate to put his traveling show career on hold and journey to her remote desert ranch, determined to make amends for past failures. What he doesn’t expect is to discover his long-lost little sister and her best friend, Lucy, are both hard at work on the ranch.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Lucy Arlidge’s decision to travel to a remote desert ranch was born as much from desperation as friendship. Fleeing San Francisco may have saved Lucy’s life, but the decision left others in danger. To thwart the evil plans of those who pursue her and her family, Lucy must keep her new gem-mining operation concealed and her secrets safe.

Preston is drawn to the mysterious woman, despite her plans to marry the neighboring rancher. Lucy’s quiet strength and undeniable beauty beckon him like a campfire in the wilderness, offering light amidst the dark memories and deepest fears resurrected by the presence of his sisters. But as danger closes in, Preston and Lucy must confront their pasts to save not only their own futures, but the lives of everyone they love.

More from Kathleen

One of the primary themes of Shoot at the Sunset is secrets and the fears that sometimes drive us to keep them. Did I mention there’s even a secret signal used in the book? So today I thought it would be fun to play with a secret code. Using the key provided below, see if you can reveal the hidden message.

Interview with Kathleen

Share something your readers wouldn’t know about you.

In the spring of 2022, I suffered a severe injury and, in the spring of 2023, I was diagnosed with PTSD. Through God’s strength and grace, I wrote Shoot at the Sunset during some of the darkest days of my life. I pray that God’s love and glory shine through the heavy topics touched on in this novel.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

Creative, broken, loved

What book is currently on your bedside table?

I just finished reading Sage, book 3 of The Sentinel Trilogy by Jamie Foley and I absolutely loved the whole series. I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in Fantasy novels. And for all my romance fans, yeah, that’s in there, too. 😉

Can you share with us something about the book that isn’t in the blurb?

This novel has a third point of view character named Opal Arlidge. Opal is Lucy’s mother, an opium addict and prostitute suffering from PTSD and in desperate need of salvation.

Any current or upcoming projects you’d like to tell us about?

I am currently working on finishing up a novella for Wild Heart Books’ multiauthor series, Romance at the Gilded Age Resorts. After that I’ll be moving on to book 6, Call in the Canyons, the final full-length novel in my Chaparral Hearts series.
