Jake Malone, a Texas Ranger from Houston, is working
undercover as a cowhand to investigate cattle rustling. Now
on vacation at Christmas time, Jake is forced off the road
after being shot. Jake regains consciousness in the middle
of the hot desert unable to see anything, including his
truck, before again passing out. Visions float before
Jake's eyes of a tiny, beautiful woman with long, golden
hair.
Saloon girls Rebecca Swanson and her friend, Kitty, are
nursing Jake back to health. The surroundings seem to
indicate a religious sect, but eventually Jake believes he
has passed through a time portal to the 1800s, even though
his sensibilities deny it. As he recovers, Jake is stuck in
the worst era known in Texas history for corruption and
brutality. Is changing history his destiny? The last thing
he now needs is to fall in love with a woman from 1877.
I found this to be a fun read with a handsome hero and
absolutely delightful young woman. There are some twists as
Jake works his way through the confusing events that
parallel his two worlds. This was a short, but complete,
story with a surprisingly blunt ending. I was expecting
more to the finish line.
Being transported to a small Texas town in the 1860s is the
last thing Ranger Jake Malone expected. But living in the
past does come with one hot, sizzling advantage—the
doctor's assistant Rebecca Swanson.
Rebecca's life is filled with danger, and is about to get
worse if the unsavory men in the town get their way. She's
desperate to escape and Jake's willing to help her. But can
she trust him?
Lucky for her, Jake's sworn to do whatever it takes to keep
her safe by his side…and in his bed.
