Savage Destiny Series - New Covers and Now Available in Kindle and Print! {with #Giveaway}

After over thirty years of being in print, my SAVAGE DESTINY books are still selling. I consider this such a blessing, because I poured so much research and hard work into those books, and the hero and heroine will live forever in my heart – and from the feedback I get from my readers, they live in a special place in their hearts too. The seven books in this classic series cover about 45 years in the lives of Zeke and Abigail Monroe, beginning when they meet on a wagon train west when Abbie is only 16 and Zeke, half Cheyenne, is 25. From this union comes seven children and a herd of grandchildren, stories about many of them wound into the main story about the hero and heroine - all the tragedies and triumphs any family faces over the years. In this case the challenges are especially difficult because of Zeke’s Indian blood. He has three full-blood Cheyenne brothers in Colorado and three full-blood white brothers (in Tennessee), and Zeke lives torn between two worlds, as do his children, some of whom deny their Indian blood.

SAVAGE DESTINY closely follows the real history of the settling of Colorado (much like James Michener’s CENTENNIAL). I did a lot of meticulous research for these books, especially on how settling the West affected our Native Americans. There are some heart-wrenching events, and some joyous ones, and through it all Zeke and Abbie’s incredible love and devotion for each other hold them together through all the challenges that come with settling an untamed land. One of the stories even involves the Civil War, in which Zeke becomes involved because of his white brothers in Tennessee. He is also very close to his Cheyenne brothers, and in spirit Zeke is more Indian than white.

Now, after all these years, those of you who have old, worn copies of these 7 books – SWEET PRAIRIE PASSION, RIDE THE FREE WIND, RIVER OF LOVE, EMBRACE THE WILD LAND, CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, MEET THE NEW DAWN and EAGLE’S SONG – can get fresh new trade paperback copies with new covers from Amazon.com. You can also get all 7 books as eBooks. For those of you new to my writing and who have been asking what else I’ve written, you will definitely want to buy this series of books. I promise that you absolutely will NOT be disappointed!

Thank you to all my long-time fans who still talk about SAVAGE DESTINY and how they were the best books they have ever read. I even get letters and e-mails from fans who have read this series up to fifteen times! That’s how good these books are, and as far as I am concerned, Zeke and Abbie did really live and I will meet them when I leave this world.

All you new readers – get the SAVAGE DESTINY books and enjoy!!!

Sweet Prairie Passion - Book 1
Amazon
Length: 463 Pages

This first book in Rosanne Bittner’s popular Savage Destiny series tells the powerful love story of 15-year-old Abigail Trent, who is traveling west with her family; and a very rugged plainsman, Zeke Monroe, the half-Cheyenne guide who wins Abbie’s heart as they journey through an untamed land beset with Indians, outlaws and nature’s harsh challenges. Although Zeke and Abbie come from very different worlds, violence and personal loss bring them together in unexpected ways, including a very poignant situation that involves Abbie’s little brother. By journey’s end, Abbie has changed from an innocent young girl to a strong woman whose courage and determination to survive make her the perfect woman for the sometimes violent Zeke, whose past and upbringing make him a challenge only Abbie’s love and personal faith can overcome. Sweet Prairie Passion is the beginning of many more stories about this unforgettable couple and their life together as they face the perils of settling America’s Old West and learn that love can conquer anything.
