[The Tates of Texas 04] • Winds of Promise

After the slaughter of her husband and child in the chaos of the War Between the States, Sarah Peterson had been taken prisoner by the fierce Comanche. Freed at last, she returned home...but in society's eyes she was branded, and nothing could erase the shameful stigma of her cruel bondage. Except marriage to powerful rancher Hunter Tate. Agreeing to be his wife in name only, Sarah went to live with him in a place where her past would be unknown. But she could not resist the fierce passion that soon flamed between them.

Her growing love for this man was fast melting the bitterness of her soul, but could she truly open her heart to share with him the glorious promise of this harsh, beautiful land?
