Dallas Leigh has built his ranch empire, plus created a new town in West Texas. However, he has a problem -- he wants a son. West Texas offers few LADIES of marriageable age.
Dallas also has a problem with some rancher-enemies -- the McQueens. It turns out that they have a daughter and Dallas has the water the McQueens need for their cattle.
Problem solved, right? What a silly thought.
Cordelia McQueen turns out to be a lovely woman who has been kept inside the family home for years -- to "protect" her. She has also been served up large portions of hateful comments about the Leigh family - particularly Dallas. Finally, Cordelia's father has promised her that she would never have to marry!
When the McQueen patriarch "gives" his daughter for water rights to his worst enemy -- we have the makings of a great story!
I adore Jodi Thomas, but in her trilogies the main characters (in previous books) almost disappear in later stories. Lorraine Heath, however, continues to weave those (previous main) characters into later volumes. I really enjoy this aspect of her books.
This is an emotionally-intense book. Bring your hankie! A superb read!
