Heaven's Embrace

Two across Texas...

Torn from her possession...

Kate O'Connell had dedicated herself to retrieving the holy relic entrusted to her care by the convent she lived in. Without it, she couldn't bear to return to the only home she knew. Mysterious Jess Darnell had a score of his own to settle with the outlaws who had stolen the relic from Kate, so he agreed to combine forces.

But as they headed west together, crossing the Republic of Texas in search of justice, Jess came to understand their dilemma. Hard as it was for him to believe that Kate would ever contemplate giving up the convent for him, it was just as hard for him to imagine giving up beautiful Kate.
