From bestselling author Patricia Rice, another classic western historical: Texas, 1835: a land divided by violence, where one woman dares to stand her ground.
When her husband dies, Lily Porter is left with a child to raise and a ranch to defend. Texas is a land torn by rebellion, where women are expected to stay out of the way. But Lily refuses to submit to any man’s orders.
Part Apache, part Mexican, a cowboy with no past he cares to share, Cade is the only man who comes to her aid. His strength makes him indispensable, but his secrets may prove as dangerous as the enemies at their gates. As rebellion ignites, Lily and Cade must navigate treachery and shifting allegiances in a fight for land, family, and survival.
