About this ebook

He’s fallen for a woman . . .

Anxious to meet her soon-to-be husband, Dallas Leigh, for the first time, mail-order bride Amelia Carson is en route to Fort Worth, Texas. When she steps off the train and locks eyes with her betrothed, she immediately feels drawn to him. But the cowboy standing before her isn’t Dallas. Instead, Dallas’s brother Houston has been sent to accompany her on the three-week journey to the ranch where she’ll begin her new life.

Who belongs to another . . .

The war Houston Leigh fought has left him with visible scars, a daily reminder of his cowardice on the battlefield. Denying his intense attraction to Amelia, he is determined to deliver her untouched, as promised. But during their long dangerous trip, he can’t help but admire her inner strength and fearlessness. And when she looks at him—as if she can see beyond his scarred face and read his innermost thoughts—he loses his heart to her. Now as they near the ranch, Houston must choose to remain loyal to his brother—or find the courage to fight for the woman he’s convinced is his destiny . . .

Ratings and reviews

What a beautiful, beautiful story! Oh I just adored Housten. I felt his grief and sorrow. I could form a clear picture of his poor, ravaged face. But most of all I felt his utter loneliness and despair. Then along came Amelia who changed that all forever. She was a courageous, kind and loving woman, who saw right through Houston to the beautiful man inside. Their's was a love story of epic proportions. Now I cannot wait to read Dallas's story.

If you love sensitive men, this book is for you. One of my top 10 favorites over the last 20 years.

What a it made me Cried and I still cry when I read it over again... Love the Book 💋💕

About the author

Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her novels have been recognized with numerous industry awards and have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
