[Bryony Hill 01] • The Wayward Heart

**Bold, Defiant, Wild - That was their land...that was their love**

She was raised in the east as a lady, but when her father is murdered, Bryony Hill decides to travel to the untamed, the unfamiliar Arizona Territory and her father's ranch.

Ambushed en route, brutally treated by a gang of men eager to quench their lust, Bryony--exquisite, genteel, and totally alone--is rescued by an aloof, arrogant stranger known only as "Texas"--a stranger who awakens in her with one kiss a hunger that frightens her even as it thrills her.

Only after she has met Texas enough times to discover the truth does she realize that it is too late: the man who killed her father is the man she loves...the only man she could ever love. And for them both, it is a love that must be denied.

But it cannot be. For "Texas" Jim Logan and Bryony Hill have met their final match in each other: wills indomitable and proud; passions fiery and demanding. And a love as strong and splendid as the land they call home.
