About the book

They were two untamed outcasts on a Texas-bound wagon train. Two passionate travelers, united by need, threatened by pasts they could not outrun...

Lydia Bryant--voluptuous and russet-haired, fleeing from a secret shame, vowing that never again would a man, any man, overpower her...

Ross Coleman--dark, brooding and iron-willed, with the shadow of a lawless past in his piercing eyes, sworn to resist the temptation of his wanton longings...

Fate threw them together on the same wild road, where they fought the breathtaking desire blazing between them, while the shadows of their enemies grew longer. As the wagon train rolled west, the danger to them drew ever closer, until a showdown with their pursuers was inevitable. Before it was over, Lydia and Ross would face death... the truth about each other... and the astonishing strength of their love....

Они были двумя неукротимыми изгоями в обозе, направлявшемся в Техас. Два страстных путешественника, объединенные нуждой, которой угрожает прошлое, от которого они не могли убежать...

Росс Коулман — мрачный, задумчивый и с железной волей, с тенью беззаконного прошлого в пронзительных глазах, поклявшийся не поддаваться искушению своих необузданных желаний...

Судьба свела их на одной дикой дороге, где Судьба свела их на одной дикой дороге, где они боролись с захватывающим дух желанием, пылающим между ними, в то время как тени их врагов становились длиннее. По мере того, как обоз катился на запад, опасность для них становилась все ближе, пока столкновение с преследователями не стало неизбежным. Прежде чем все закончится, Лидия и Росс столкнутся со смертью... правда друг о друге... и удивительная сила их любви...

Eran dos parias indómitos en un tren de vagones con destino a Texas. Dos viajeros apasionados, unidos por la necesidad, amenazados por pasados de los que no pudieron escapar...

Lydia Bryant, voluptuosa y de pelo rojizo, huyendo de una vergüenza secreta, jurando que nunca más un hombre, ningún hombre, la dominaría...
