Texas Rose

Texas, 1847~ A PROMISE MADE… A loner with a heart of ice and nerves of steel. A dangerous, fast gun for hire. Jaret Walker has only his honor and the reputation he's built for himself to call his own. When a promise sends him to isolated Two Roses Ranch and Isabel Bennett, the woman he's come to protect, all he can think of is making her his—in every way. But she's the kind of woman a man like him can never have—for he's a man with a past that haunts him, and with no future to share. A SCORCHING DESIRE… The moment Isabel Bennett lays eyes on Jaret Walker, the dreams she's pushed aside for so long suddenly seem possible. She's sworn never to marry and give a man control over her ranch. But when Jaret rides into her life, she's tempted to taste what she's sworn to give up—a passion that burns out of control with each kiss…desire that consumes them both…and a bold challenge from the future that neither of them believed in…until now… Previously published as Touched by Love.
