His mother's addictions and a bully set on destroying him are proving to be too much for Will to handle. But among the snowy gravestones in his new backyard, Will meets a mysterious stranger who knows the secrets of his past, and more importantly, holds the keys to his future.

Smart, funny and touching with enough heat to keep the pages turning, Tualla's A Woman of Choice is a book you won't be able to put down."-Dog-Eared Pages Reviews 5 out of 5 Quills "This was an absolutely amazing love story The plot, the research, Tualla has it all and you will love every minute of it.

She is rescued by a widower uninterested in love. In desperation, she becomes engaged to his best friend. One woman, three very different men. Life is about choices. ******I loved A Woman of Choice I stayed up entirely too late to gobble it and get to the end. The characters were developed so well that they stayed with me, making me think about them well after I was finished reading.-Barb RileyAuthor of Eyes of the Beholder Speaking as a Norwegian, Kris has done a great job of capturing a non-demonstrative Norse male and his turmoil as he decides what to do with the feisty woman who is literally dropped into his world.-Michelle Gregory Author of Eldala A Woman of Choice was a fascinating historical read that turned out to be quite the page turner. Set in 1819, I was transported to an era that I don't usually read about. Sydney's character was funny, quirky and so unlike what a proper lady should have been. Sydney is just the type of strong character I love to see in a heroine. Nicolas was strong, protective and oh so yummy. Nicolas is a man that has been hurt on a very primal level and he does all he can to protect his heart, until Sydney comes along. I don't want to give away too much of the book because there are so many interesting and unexpected twists and turns. The romance between Sydney and Nicolas was certainly one of imperfection. They simply sizzled together. The ending is amazing and will definitely leave you wanting to buy the second book in the series. A Woman of Choice is certainly a book that is now on my keeper list. Kris Tualla writes an intriguing historical romance that is sure to sweep you off your feet. A must read -Val Pearson
