Life seems to dictate which road is ultimately traveled.
Mix in an element of destiny, fate, and just plain
determination, and you understand what Drummond Roak has
been doing in the years since he last saw Sage McMurray.
She was the dream -- his one dream in a lifetime of avoiding
them. Life before Sage was the stuff nightmares are made of
so you could say that Drum's life began when the McMurray's
found him trespassing on their land and when his very own
angel, Sage, treated his wounds (both internal and
external). But Sage saw him as a wild boy, so he set out to
prove himself man enough for her. The only way he knew to do
that was as a hired gun. He was the best and it earned him
respect and paid quite well. Drum
always felt on the outside -- a loner. Now, with Sage
returning home from Boston, he is determined to make her
accept him as a man -- her man. But fate steps in, once
again.
Sage returns surrounded by a maelstrom of problems and
violence. Caught in the midst of a robbery seemingly gone
wrong, she is kidnapped by a gang of outlaws working for a
madman holed up in an impenetrable cavern. Even though their
relationship is tempestuous at best, Sage is certain that
Drum will save her. But the problem is bigger and more far
reaching than either of them realizes. And neither one fully
imagines the evil behind all these events that may not be as
random as originally believed. Make no mistake, Drum has no
intention of giving up on his dream. There is no mistaking
the passion between them and, although Sage hasn't admitted
it to herself as yet, they are equally devoted to each
other. Drum's got his work cut out for him. Watch out Sage
-- Drum has the earned reputation of getting his man. Surely
a little woman wouldn't pose that much of a hurdle. Problem
is, Sage is a fiercely independent, smart, and resourceful
woman. Let the games begin.
Having read all three of the preceding Whispering Mountain
novels I was so ready to continue the saga of the
McMurray's and had all ready picked out my favorite stories
and characters. I fell in love with Drum from the moment he
was introduced and hoped that eventually his life would
be the center of one of these books. Well the wait was
worth it. Thomas has done a masterful job of continuing the
readers relationship with the McMurray clan and at the same
time introduced us to a myriad of very interesting
characters. Thomas makes her characters matter. In THE LONE
TEXAS, even the pets have an important role to play.
Three days after arriving in Galveston, newly widowed Sage
McMurray finds herself taken hostage in a robbery. She fears
she may never see Whispering Mountain again when the outlaws
decide to auction their pretty captive off to the highest
bidder, until a tall stranger offers twice the highest bid.
