Not His To Kiss
Description
She was never meant to be his...
but he's the one man she can't escape.
A mistaken identity. A dangerous journey west.
And a protector who was never supposed to fall in love.
Riley Hastings thought she knew who she was?until the truth shatters everything. Her parents aren't dead. They're fugitives. And worse... she was never truly theirs.
Determined to uncover their secrets and make them answer for the life they stole, Riley agrees to leave Boston and travel west to Oregon under the protection of an escort she's never met. But when a rugged stranger arrives in his place?and calls her Amanda?it becomes clear she's been mistaken for another woman... a bride with a future she never chose.
Adam McCall thought he was doing his best friend a favor?escorting a reluctant bride across the frontier. Instead, he finds himself protecting a woman who is nothing like the one he was promised. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and hiding more than she's willing to admit?and the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to keep his distance.
With danger closing in and the truth unraveling around them, every mile draws them deeper into a connection neither of them expected... and neither can afford.
Because she was never his responsibility...
and never meant to be his to kiss.

Person
Rebecca Lange is a devoted romantic at heart. Though she has explored a variety of genres throughout her writing journey, her deepest passion lies in historical fiction?particularly stories set in the 1800s American West and the Regency era.
A passionate advocate, Rebecca uses her stories to raise awareness of abuse, human trafficking, and the devastating impact of drug and alcohol addiction. These themes are not woven in for suspense alone, but as a reminder that such struggles are tragically real?and that victims are never to blame.
She is also a firm believer in women's rights, inspired by the courageous women of the 1800s who fought to prove they were not the property of their husbands but their partners and equals. Rebecca upholds the conviction that violence has no place in relationships or marriage.
Originally from Germany, she was born and raised there before moving abroad in 2002 to serve a mission for her church in Scotland. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she now lives in Utah with her husband, their two sons (ages 18 and 20), and two lively Yorkie puppies.
Her writing motto is: Never Smut, Always Sizzling Kisses, Consistently Closed Door. Rebecca delights in weaving passion and tenderness into her stories, offering what she calls "sweet and diet spice" romance. Diet spice?what is that, you ask? It's the thrill of longing gazes, passionate kisses, and close embraces that build anticipation without ever crossing into explicit territory. For her, the most powerful love stories are those that remain tasteful and teasing, proving that romance can be both heart-stirring and wholesome.
