Duel McClain has lost everything he's ever loved: his
wife,
his son, his sense of self. But when a strange twist of
fate—and a poker game he'll never forget—leaves an
innocent
little girl in his care, Duel vows to defend his new
family
to his very last breath. If only he knew a single thing
about taking care of babies...
Just as Duel swears his life can't get any more
complicated,
a beautiful woman stumbles into the light of his
campfire,
desperate for help. Jessie Foltry is hungry, tired, and
running for her life. She agrees to help Duel care for
the
child in exchange for his protection, even as she fights
to
guard her broken heart. But Duel will do whatever it
takes
to make Jessie see that the Texas plains have more than
one
kind of knight, and perhaps their salvation is closer
than
either of them could have dreamed...
Hi Sandra, thank you so much for this review. I knew the subject matter would be hard to digest but I wrote this book to honor a friend who lived with such abuse. She, too, was won in a poker game by a horrible man. I vowed to give her a better life even if it was in fiction. And to answer your question...yes, The Cowboy Who Came Calling will be reissued in February. Then in May, Marley Rose, the baby in this story, gets her own book. She's all grown up and learns the secret of how she came to be with Duel and Jessie. It's a powerful story. (Linda Broday 3:27pm August 3, 2017)
