Author: Reagan Taylor
Publisher: Awe-Struck E-Books
ISBN: 978-1-58749-653-0
Genre: Western Historical Romance
Brett Parker wanted a wife to share his life with, but the women available
were not interested in him. Brett was half Cheyenne and considered to be in
a lower social strata, even though he had money and a deputy sheriff. He
concluded he wouldn't try again.
Jennifer Matthews lost her father and came into the control of the one man
she detested and feared. After his latest attempt to assault her, she fled
west by train. And fell in with a group of women heading west to become
wives. Would she also take a husband?
Talented author Reagan Taylor tells us a tale of two wounded hearts from two
different worlds and their search for happiness and safety. Will they find
it or will Jennifer's past return to threaten her? Will she have to return
to the house of the man she so detests?
I'm pleased to recommend this well told tale to any romantic or western
romance fan who enjoys plenty of action. The story will pull you along as
the realistic characters welcome you into their world. This is a tale that
will leave you pleased at having read it and will have you looking for other
books by this very able author.
Enjoy. I sure did.
