In this heartwarming episode, Wendy Galinetti chats about her incredible writing journey—from penning church skits to being selected by Sunrise Publishing to co-author a Western historical romance in a shared world with Lacey Williams! Wendy shares the story behind her debut novel A Dangerous Heart, part of the Wind River Mail-Order Bride series, and the redemptive themes woven throughout the love story between Isaac, a U.S. Marshal with a broken past, and Claire, a woman fleeing her outlaw family in search of a new name and future. We talk grit, grace, swoony heroes, and how God redeems our stories, one step of faith at a time.

Meet Wendy Galinetti















Wendy Galinetti writes contemporary and historical western romance set in rugged landscapes and small towns. Her stories blend grit, grace, and the kind of love worth fighting for—whether on a windswept frontier or a modern-day ranch. Raised in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, she now makes her home in the mitten, where she and her husband of over 40 years serve together in the church they planted. A mom and GiGi, Wendy is fueled by biblical wisdom, strong coffee, and the power of story to remind us that grace runs deep and redemption is always possible.

Wendy Galinetti's New Book: A Dangerous Heart (Wind River Mail Order Brides Book 4)















Former U.S. Marshal Isaac McGraw wants nothing more than to forget his past and live in isolation on the family ranch. But his meddling family has cooked up other plans—plans that include matching Isaac with a mail-order bride who has two young boys in tow.



There’s something about Clare Ferguson that bothers Isaac…more than the haunted look in her eyes and the way she’s constantly glancing over her shoulder. Against his will—and better judgment—he finds himself drawn to Clare and her cheery disposition.



When Clare’s secret past and relationship to an infamous outlaw is revealed, Isaac must break free from the chains of his past to keep his new family safe…
