Five years ago, Walks In Shadow left his adopted nephew at
the door of a kind white family, vowing to return and
reclaim him one day. Although he's white, he's lived with
his Comanche people since he was taken as a small boy and
must learn the white man's ways before he can reclaim his
nephew.
Samantha Timberlake loves the horse ranch that will one day
be hers. At 25, she has no plans to ever wed and has
settled her mind on becoming an old maid. That is until
Holden Walker (Walks In Shadow) arrives at Timberoaks and
stirs something in her that she's never felt before.
Holden's plan was to ride in and get a job so he can
reacquaint himself with his nephew, but all thoughts soon
shift to the unattainable Samantha.
When Samantha's father suddenly dies, she's unprepared, and
the reading of the will places Timberoaks under control of
a neighbor until Samantha either weds or turns 30. Now she
needs Holden's help more than ever. But Holden and
Samantha's attraction is too great, and he feels he needs
to leave because he has nothing to offer. Now it's up to
Samantha to make him want to stay.
This story took off with a bang, and I really enjoyed it.
There was a lot of action and adventure, and the characters
were awesome. However, I felt the story seemed to cool down
and become less romantic at the end. Still, this debut
novel is a very good read.
He stood on a hill, wild, proud, fierce, as beautiful as
Texas was brutal, and she wanted him with a yearning so
intense, so primal, it took her breath. But even after the
magnificent black stallion is captured, no one can break
him. No one until Holden Walker appears at Timberoaks.
As Samantha watches his strong, caressing hands, his hard-
muscled thighs, she can’t help wondering how it would feel
to be the focus of his attention. His Comanche upbringing
lent him an uncanny understanding of both humans and
animals. She knows he can gentle a horse, but is he the one
who will help her wrest back control of the ranch, the one
who will show her that a woman can find soaring joy as well
as heartbreak in a man’s world?
