About
Trust no one in the shadows of the piney woods . . .
Letty Hood has spent the last fifteen years of her life hidden away with her grandmother in the backwoods of east Texas to escape the deadly schemes of an uncle who wants her dead. Now, with her twenty-first birthday on the horizon, she is forced to accept the escort of a stranger and return to Houston in secret so she can claim a birthright that will make her one of the wealthiest women in Texas. If she lives long enough to inherit.
Pinkerton agent Philip Carmichael has one duty: get the Radcliffe heiress home alive. Expecting a spoiled girl, Philip is surprised to encounter a woman of rare strength with a kind soul and keen wit. As they journey together, Letty's resilience wins his admiration, breaking through his hardened cynicism. Yet the threat to her survival grows more menacing with every mile, and Philip fears that keeping Letty out of harm's way may be just as impossible as keeping her out of his heart.

Booklist
"I loved everything about this book. [Philip's] attraction to Letty and hers to him is a sweet romance that made this book hard to put down."
"This novel will warm your heart, making it a must-read for anyone looking for an engaging and emotionally resonant historical romance."
"What a great story to get lost in and characters to cheer for! The strong faith thread ties this all up in a neat bow for me. I'm definitely putting the other two novels in the Texas Ever After series on my must-read pile."
"I always look forward to the main male characters from a Karen Whitemeyer book. This is a sweet romance full of adventure and suspense."Interviews & Reviews
"Cloaked in Beauty by Karen Witemeyer is wholly swoonworthy, emotionally layered, and so much fun! . . . . A special shout-out to the side characters like Rusty and Flora and Fellows who so delightfully steal their scenes ("I thought the knocker might be broken.") and add such personality to this novel. Fabulously entertaining from prologue to the final word!"
