Swept Away
Trouble In Texas book 1
Mary Connealy
Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruth MacNeil isn't terribly upset at being separated from that family who raised her. All they've ever done is work her to the bone. Alive but disoriented, she is rescued by Luke Stone...so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in the immediate future.
Luke is on a mission to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men currently on the property won't let it go without a fight. Luke plans to meat up with friends who will help him take back the land, and since he can't just leave Ruthy in the middle of nowhere, she's going to have to go with him.
But the more time Luke spends around the hardworking young woman, the more he finds himself thinking of things besides revenge. Will Ruthy convince him to give up his destructive path and be swept away by love?
