Author: Kelly Jo Wilson October 20, 2025 Duration: 34:59

This interview with bestselling author Tracie Peterson dives deep into the heart of her latest historical Christian romance, A Moment to Love. In this heartfelt chat, Kelly and Tracie discuss wrapping up the Hope of Cheyenne series with Carrie Vogel — a character readers first met as a toddler and now follow as a trailblazing doctor in 1890s Wyoming. When betrayal strikes close to home, Carrie finds herself in a marriage of convenience with a Pinkerton agent on a mission for justice. Together, they navigate forgiveness, friendship, and faith amid the backdrop of Cheyenne. With threads from both The Heart of Cheyenne and The Hope of Cheyenne series, this finale delivers a powerful, redemptive story packed with emotional depth, historical intrigue, and God’s grace.

A Moment to Love Book Cover

A shared heart for justice pulls them together, but is their love strong enough to survive their trials?

Dr. Carrie Vogel’s heart is shattered when her groundbreaking medical research is stolen and falsely credited to her ex-fiancé. With years of diligent work lost, she grapples with the disastrous turn of her career and leans on her faith for strength. When she learns that her Pinkerton friend Spencer Duval is on a justice-driven mission to her hometown of Cheyenne, she agrees to an arranged marriage to provide him with a cover story. But merely pretending to be in love with Spencer becomes increasingly difficult the more time she spends with him.

Spencer is determined to apprehend the ruthless murderer who killed his father years ago, but his quest ignites unexpected emotions–both for Carrie and about the desire for revenge that has dominated his life. As the web of suspects tightens, their futures hang in the balance, and they must learn to trust God’s plan as unexpected love takes flight.

Return to Cheyenne, Wyoming, with bestselling author Tracie Peterson for a journey of healing and forgiveness in this exquisite western frontier romance that will appeal to readers of faith-filled stories and When Calls the Heart.

Finding Forevermore Novel

Finding Forevermore is available for preorder today on Amazon!

Her family secrets. His guilt. One road trip that changes everything.

Raven Cunningham has built a quiet life between the shelves of a small-town bookshop, ghostwriting stories for others while hiding her own. She’s long believed her father abandoned her, until a letter from her late grandmother reveals a shocking truth.

Convinced the reclusive author J.C. Nevermore is her father, Raven sets out to uncover the real story. When her childhood friend Cole Walker, a former Army medic wrestling with his own scars, offers to help, she’s not sure if she can trust him . . . or herself.

As they chase clues and revisit old memories, what begins as a search for answers becomes a journey toward something deeper.

Finding Forevermore is a heartfelt story about faith, family, and the kind of love that’s anchored in God’s unfailing grace.

For Kindle Unlimited lovers, Finding Forevermore will be available starting October 25th 2025!
