"...well-written, impressively researched...grittily authentic...riveting...should appeal to a much wider audience." —Wayne Barton, WESTERN WRITERS OF AMERICA, INC.

When Trace Garrett shows up on Clara Ehler's Texas ranch, she can hardly believe it's him—and as handsome as she remembers. When Trace left years before, he took Clara's dream of true love with him. But now he's back, and one look at him sets a heat of passion ablaze once again.

But Trace holds more than the deed to Clara's heart—he holds the deed to her ranch as well. He'd heard she planned on selling it and moving East, but he knows the only place for Clara is on the Texas frontier, and in his embrace.
