Rainey Adams steals a kiss from a handsome Texas Ranger and
then steals his horse. On the run from her father, Rainey
fled Washington, D.C., and headed to Texas, a state where
she plans to stay lost from her father's scheme to marry
her off to a man twice her age. Rainey is young and is
prepared to make her living from teaching or nursing in the
wild frontier. Unfortunately, those jobs are scarce. But
fate has another plan for Rainey.
After chasing outlaws for two years as a Texas Ranger,
Travis McMurray returns home wishing to be surrounded by
his loving family. His Irish father and Apache mother died
after his sister's birth. Their parent's death left three
brothers, the oldest 11, to care for their sister and each
other. Their struggle to stay together and keep the ranch
left them with nightmares as they worked hard to survive.
Expecting to rest and enjoy his family, Travis is not
expecting to find a lovely fairy that bestows a kiss upon
him and then steals his horse. Chasing after her, Travis
runs into an ambush, where he is shot. His fairy returns to
help him to safety and then disappears.
Rainey exchanges letters with Travis, leaving him no clues
to her location. The taciturn Ranger opens his heart in his
letters and Rainey dreams about the man she can never have.
Marriage is not for her after seeing how her father killed
her mother's spirit. Rainey refuses to lose her
independence. Travis has a challenge to change her mind and
marry him.
The first in the new Whispering Mountain trilogy, TEXAS
RAIN entertains with its fast-paced action and endearing
characters. Ms. Thomas captures the characters' emotional
turmoil and their spirits as they battle the odds in the
harsh Texas landscape.
The first time Rainey Adams meets Texas Ranger Travis
McMurray, she steals a kiss - and then his horse. Now
Travis is determined to track down this intruiging woman
and bring her back to the Whispering Mountain Ranch as his
bride. But his renegade may be too much for even the
toughest Ranger to handle.
