Headstrong and spoiled Liberty Mayfield flees her home with
a stranger for protection, running from an abusive fiancé.
Overcoming her almost paralyzing fear of horses, Liberty
rides into a world alien to her. There are no society
lunches with important Washington women or balls with fancy
gowns, which she attended with her father the senator.
Instead, she rides, painfully injured from the beating she
took from her fiancé, into the rough Texas hillside. Along
the way and with the help of a shy cowboy, Liberty
discovers hidden strengths and depths within herself.
Tobin McMurray cheated death when he was six years old and
a bullet almost ended his life. Believing fate will
intervene and that he will die young, Tobin rejects having
a family. He chooses to dedicate himself to breeding and
raising horses with which he has a special bond. When Tobin
delivers a horse to a powerful senator, he promises the man
he will kidnap his daughter and take her to safety.
Preferring horses to people, Tobin reluctantly adheres to
his pledge. He expects to help a spoiled princess but
instead discovers a badly beaten young woman who captures
his heart with her quiet courage.
Liberty falls in love with the gentle, self-reliant cowboy,
but she knows their worlds are too different. His spirit
would die in the city and she does not know any other life.
Growth in character and spirit must occur before they can
realize happiness.
TEXAS PRINCESS, the second book in the Whispering Mountain
trilogy, is a fun read with a fabulous, romantic scene in a
ballroom that will melt readers' hearts. Ms. Thomas leaves
a perfect opening for the last book with the interesting
character she introduces in the outlaw Roak and his
relationship with Tobin's sister, Sage.
Ever since he defended the Whispering Mountain Ranch as a
boy, Tobin McMurray vowed to steer clear of outsiders. But
something about Liberty Mayfield has made it impossible to
keep his distance. Every minute spent with the vulnerable
beauty has left him hungering for something he swore he'd
never have-a wife and a family. Unfortunately, the woman
who's ignited his desire is about to marry another man.
