When a cowboy focused on revenge encounters a woman determined to distract him, there’s going to be trouble in Texas!
Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn’t terribly upset at being separated from the family who raised her. All they’ve ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she’s rescued by Luke Stone…so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future.
Luke is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property won’t let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meet up with friends who will help him take back the land, and since he can’t just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she’s going to have to go with him.
But the more time Luke spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his destructive path and be swept away by love?
ISLAND BREEZES
You’ll be swept away with this story. Luke rescued Ruthy after she’d been swept away down the river.
Then he was stuck with her. With nowhere to drop her off, he had to take her to the small town of Broken Wheel.
Luke was going back to reclaim his stolen ranch. He’s not sure what to do with Ruthy. He knows he can’t take a woman into a fire fight.
Before it’s all over and done, there’s another woman and two children who need rescuing.
This was a book I just couldn’t put down. There’s a teaser for the second book of the Trouble in Texas series. I want to read it right now. September can’t come soon enough.
