Wild Texas Rose

the long version

Rose may be beautiful, smart and capable of running the ranch at Whispering Mountain, but few people realize how hard she has to fight to control the secret anxieties that have haunted her since she was a child. Texas Ranger Duncan McMurray knows, and has quietly been trying to protect—and care for—Rose for years, but this time the danger may be too much for him to handle. An outlaw gang is looking for vengeance against her family…and she’s in the line of fire. Now, as Jodi Thomas’ Wild Texas Rose unfolds, he’s determined to keep Rose safe, but without letting her know of the danger. He’s convinced that her heart can’t take the stress if she finds out…the only question is: can his own heart take the nearness of her…?
