Fire on the Plains (Western Fire #2)
Kate Wingo
As the newlyweds embark on an arduous overland journey to Texas to claim Lydia’s inheritance – a ten-thousand acre cattle ranch – the trip quickly turns perilous when they are first accosted by the infamous James Gang; and must later fight off a fierce band of Comanche Indians. Eventually, Ben and Lydia’s tumultuous disputes give way to an unfettered desire. And that, in turn, incites the first fragile stirrings of love. But this new love is soon put to the ultimate test when Ben and Lydia become embroiled with a treacherous southern renegade intent on smuggling the lost Confederate treasury into Mexico.
A boldly sensual marriage-of-convenience story, Fire on the Plains is full of breathtaking adventure, vibrant historical detail and richly-drawn, unforgettable characters; and is the second book in a multi-generational family saga that spans the breadth of the untamed western fronier.
