Synopsis:

Now available for the first time in one trade paperback volume, here are two romances from New York Times bestselling author Dorothy Garlock: With Heart and its sequel After the Parade.

With Heart: Tillison County, Oklahoma, 1938.

Though scarcity and hardship have taken their toll on the spirit of the nation, one young woman still dares to dream. Kathleen Dolan has high hopes for her investment in the Rawlings, Oklahoma, Gazette. But the feisty newspaper woman hasn't even reached the city limits when trouble strikes.

Hijackers try to steal her old Nash, and though handsome rancher Johnny Henry rides to her rescue, the attack is only a taste of the perils to come. For Rawlings is a town steeped in dirty secrets, and soon, though Johnny tries to shield her, Kathleen will find herself pitted against a powerful man and his unscrupulous cronies–men who will go to any lengths to silence this gutsy redhead and the man she loves.

After the Parade: Rawlings, Oklahoma, 1945.

Johnny Henry is coming home from the Pacific, and his estranged wife, Kathleen, secretly watches him step off the train to a hero's welcome. Her heart races when she sees him; his breaks when he doesn't spot her.

Misunderstanding and tragedy had destroyed their marriage before he shipped out. Now Johnny's pride will keep him from confessing how wrong he had been; now Kathleen's hurt will stop her from running into his arms.

But when a disturbed stalker plunges Kathleen into a real-life nightmare, her only hope is Johnny–and a love that can bring two hearts through every battle, especially the one within.

About the Author:

Dorothy Garlock was a Best-selling American author of over 50 historical romance novels, most of them set in the American West. She also wrote under the pen names Johanna Phillips, Dorothy Phillips and Dorothy Glenn.

Dorothy Garlock was born on June 22, 1929, in Texas, but spent twenty-five years in Oklahoma City. She and her husband moved to Clear Lake, Iowa, in 1955. Garlock worked for fourteen years as a bookkeeper and columnist for the local newspaper before retiring at age 49.

To fill her time while she and her husband spent winters in a small south-Texas town, Garlock began to write stories. She completed four manuscripts before she decided to try to publish one of them. In 1976, she entered one of her books in a contest for unpublished writers. Although it did not win the contest, one of the judges, an agent, offered to represent her. He sold all four of her books in a few weeks.

Over 20 million copies of Garlock's books are in print in 18 languages and 36 countries. She was one of the six launch authors for Bantam Books' Loveswept Line. Two of Garlock's short stories, "Interlude in Big Bend" and "Beneath the Midnight Sun", were chosen by Universal Press Syndicate to launch their series Day Dreams.

The two stories were published one chapter each day for one month, and ran in 57 major newspapers. Her novel A Love for All Time has been used as an example in the textbook Writing Romantic Fiction, by Helen Barnhardt. Garlock is also a member of the Romance Writers Hall of Fame.

Garlock donated many of her manuscripts and other unpublished writings to the University of Iowa libraries. She and her husband, Herb Garlock Sr., lived in Clear Lake, Iowa. They have a son and daughter and several grandsons.

Garlock died April 6, 2018.
