About the book . . .
The powerful, shattering story of a tortured hero and his captive bride . . .
A REPUBLIC OF TEXAS ROMANCE!
Beautiful
young Emilie Barrett is alone and penniless in the wild frontier town
of Houston, until David Ashland appears, offering her a position as
companion to a young woman who lives at his uncle’s cotton plantation.
Half in love with her gallant rescuer, Emilie accepts. But she arrives
at Brazos Bend to find herself instantly pursued by the estate’s
mercurial master—David’s tormented uncle, Edgar Ashland. Handsome and
arrogant, Edgar is a notorious recluse with a terrible temper. He is
also the most masterful, sexy, and compelling man Emilie has ever
met—and he seems equally enthralled by her. To Emilie’s horror, Edgar
soon maneuvers her into marriage.
Emilie finds herself a new
bride trapped in a house of secrets with her mysterious bridegroom.
Edgar’s passions are as fierce and turbulent as the demons haunting him
from his first marriage and the Texas War for Independence. Why did
Edgar’s first wife die? And who doesn’t want Emilie to remain in this
house? Falling hopelessly in love with her enigmatic husband, Emilie
realizes she must tame the beast in Edgar before the ghosts of his past
destroy them both.
