"There's this thing between us that refuses to die. I'd like
nothing better than to be able to..." His words faded. He'd
give anything to change people's views about his race...to
be able to make her his wife. But the world wasn't that
simple. Not for people like them.
All his life,
Brett Liberty has straddled two worlds: white and Iroquois.
The only place he's truly at peace is with his wild
mustangs. But after he's arrested for the color of his skin,
he discovers Rayna Harper in the cell next to him. Rough and
tumble Rayna has known little kindness, but Brett sees the
depth of her heart hidden beneath layers of hurt and fear,
and he refuses to leave without her.
Something about
the damaged, flame-haired beauty calls to him. Yet even as
the two outcasts are drawn together, terrible danger at the
hands of prejudiced men threatens to tear them apart. Brett
knows in his heart he should let her go, but he's taken with
the woman who looks at him as if he were just any other
man...and melts in his arms as if the brush of his lips is
enough to chase all her demons away...
After reading the posting for your latest book, I realized that people were cruel back then, if not more cruel, than they are now. The only constant is that they jump to conclusions without knowing all of the facts!!! Your latest book sounds like it's going to be quite the read, and I'm looking forward to opening the cover to that book this fall, over a nice hot cup of cocoa!! You've expressed this time period well, and as barbaric in a way this time period was, I'm up for the task to read it. Congratulations on your latest book, which I'm sure is going to do quite well. The cover art is absolutely stunning!! (Peggy Roberson 5:16am October 14, 2015)
It is unfortunate that some people concentrate on differences and set themselves above others based on those differences. Past experiences with the "others" may have been bad, but one must not judge all by those few. Prejudice and hate are ugly things and should not be tolerated. I am really looking forward to Brett's story. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series and know this one will be as good. Thanks for the peek into the story.

Peggy, I agree about people being more cruel back then. So much of that was fueled by ignorance, fear, lack of doctors. If someone got sick (or injured) away from a town, chances were they'd die. There just weren't many doctors.
And then there was the immense prejudice and hate against Native Americans.
I'm glad you love the cover art for Forever His Texas Bride! I do too. Sourcebooks' art department does amazing work. I hope you enjoy the story and that it might touch your heart as it did mine. (Linda Broday 10:28am October 16, 2015)
Patricia Barraclough, you know, it's very sad that we're still locked in that prejudice and hate after hundreds of years. We haven't moved very far from where we started.
I'm really happy that you're intrigued by Brett's story. I think you're gonna love it. And thanks for the kind words about the first two in this series. (Linda Broday 10:32am October 16, 2015)
Thank you for this wonderful review, Sandra! Your remarks capture the heart of this story. And it's a theme that is sadly enough occurring today. I love writing historical romances that resonate so deeply with readers and reviewers.
Have a very Happy Thankgiving! (Linda Broday 3:01pm November 24, 2015)
I just finished reading this book. Linda, takes you on a whirlwind adventure into the west with two outcast people. This review just gives you a taste of what happens in this book. It is a must read for all you western book lovers. (Lois Imel 6:45pm January 19, 2016)
