So it's a battle between a hard edged one time bounty hunter
turned rancher and citified refined beauty. But the outside
package doesn't do justice to the real goods in either case.
Josh Grady has lived a hard demanding life as a well known
and respected bounty hunter. But while his reputation has
rewarded him with enough money to invest as a partner in a
ranch -- it has also earned him life-long enemies. He turned
his back on his past when he decided to devote his life to
the Rocking R Ranch. Emmie Ryan's life has been divided
between winters with her mother in Philadelphia and summers
with her father Hank at Rocking R. Her mother's memory of a
Comanche raid on neighboring ranches made her fearful for
her life and that of her daughter. And so Hank had no choice
but to send them off to live in the city but not without
some demands of his own. Summer's with Emmie at the ranch
was one but upon his demise his will held some additional
demands. So in accordance with the terms of the will Emmie
is leaving her Philadelphia life behind to begin living full
time in the west. Josh isn't sure what to expect when Emmie
arrives but he isn't prepared for this amazing young lady
who can ride and shoot with the best of them. He also isn't
prepared for the chemistry between them. Admiration quickly
turns to sexual attraction and who knows where that will
lead. Emmie is prepared to work the ranch but the one thing
she isn't prepared for is having a partner and in particular
Josh Grady. He is a rather new addition to the Rocking R and
predictably she is rather shocked to learn that her father
had taken on a partner and not informed her. Just when life
at the ranch seems to be working out their pasts catch up.
Emmie in the form of a beau she eagerly left behind out east
and for Josh an escaped convict out for revenge. Trouble is
brewing at the Rocking R.
WANTED! THE TEXAS is a fast moving tale dealing with two
quite different cultures. Bobbi Smith quickly establishes
the rough and demanding life style in the west during the
1800's. By comparison living in Philadelphia at that time
was more involved with societal expectations. As people
moved west they had no choice but to adapt to the rigor of a
lifestyle that put great distance between neighbors. But as
this story unfolds it becomes apparent that not everyone can
adapt or accept the differences.
WANTED
He’s the uncivilized side of the law, the kind of man who
lives by his own code of Western justice. Relentless,
untamed, and honorable to a fault. The kind of man any woman
would forget all the rules to love.
JOSH GRADY
Even the most successful bounty hunter has to settle down
sometime, so when a run-in with a pair of killers leaves him
wounded, Josh decides to make a fresh start at the Rocking R
Ranch. Compared to his last job, wrangling cattle and
repairing fences seem downright relaxing. But that’s before
he meets the boss’s daughter from back East. Emmie Ryan’s
highfalutin manners make him testier than a rattlesnake, but
he’s convinced that her oh-so-proper exterior conceals the
wild nature of a true Texan. All Josh needs to do is help
her to forget that she’s a lady…and remember that she’s a woman.
