ID Johnson creates characters you'll want to have as your best friends with antagonists you'll love to hate. Her love for all things princess-y compelled her to write her first medieval romance at fifteen, and she hasn't stopped writing since. Now, her plots are a little more complex, her topics a little more mature, and her romances often more intense, but she's never lost the love she felt the first moment she breathed life into a character over twenty years ago. If you love feisty paranormal heroines, damsels who cause distress, or historical ladies who know how to light up a room, then pull up a seat, get out your eReader, and meet ID Johnson's friends. Soon enough, they'll be your friends, too.

Cordia

Torn between the man she loves, and the man who loves her....
Cordia Pike has always been strong-willed, but she knows her family expects her to accept the hand of her childhood friend, Jaris Adams, in marriage. As the conflict between the states continues to escalate, Cordia hopes it will last long enough for her to find a way to free herself without breaking her friend’s heart.
On the eve of war, as the men prepare to ride off to battle, Cordia meets a mysterious newcomer. There’s just something about Will Tucker that she finds both intriguing and dangerous. Under the guise of caring for his sister, she makes a plan to write to him. Perhaps by the time the war is over, Will’s feelings for Cordia will have blossomed into the love she is starting to feel for the Union soldier.
But war is evil and complex, and by the time it begins to wind its way through Southwest Missouri, one of these men will be dead, and Cordia will find herself betrothed to a man she loathes. Will she have the courage to follow her heart and stand up for what she believes in like so many others, or will she do as she is told and acquiesce to a loveless marriage to a heartless traitor?
Hope
Forbidden love on the frontier....
Hope Tucker is content staying in her hometown of Lamar, Missouri, focusing on her life as a schoolteacher instead of finding love. But when she hears the truth about her parents' romance during the Civil War, how her mother Cordia set out to find her father Will after a deadly battle, Hope is determined to have that sort of adventure as well.
Accepting a teaching position in a frontier town in Texas isn't quite what she was expecting--there are no marauders or gunslingers--but there is one man with a shady past, and when the entire town tells her to stay away from Judah Lawless, Hope finds herself drawn to him.
Is Judah dangerous, or will Hope finally find the romance she's been looking for?
 


Forever Love

Hope nodded in understanding, sad to hear that the money Mr. Canton had been spending for the library to get more books had run out. If people weren't borrowing the books, there'd be no one to support the library itself. "Perhaps now that I'm here, I can encourage parents to check out books for their children, maybe give a little extra if they can. I'm hoping to speak to Mr. Stewart soon about obtaining books for the school. Maybe I can mention the library then as well. With his support…."


Mr. Canton cut her off with a shake of his head. "The superintendent is for learning, but he is very careful about what he expects students to read. He would say everyone has a copy of the Bible—let them read that."


"The Bible?" Hope echoed. "Why, that's one of the most difficult books to read. How would a child learn to read by studying a book written with words that we no longer use, like thee and thou?"
