Texas Forsaken
|
The man who destroyed her life may be the only one who can save it. Seven years ago, Maggie Logan (Eyes-Like-Sky) lost everything she knew when a raid on a wagon train tore her from her family. As the memories of her past faded to nothing more than vague shadows, Maggie adapted, marrying a Comanche warrior, having a baby, and rebuilding her life. But in one terrible battle, the U.S. Cavalry destroys that life, and she is taken captive again, this time by those who call themselves her people. Forced into a world she wants nothing to do with, Eyes-Like-Sky’s only hope at protecting her child may be an engagement to the man who killed her husband. Enrolled in West Point to escape his overbearing father, Captain Garret Ramsey finds himself assigned to the Texas frontier, witnessing the brutal Indian War in which both sides commit atrocities. Plagued by guilt for his own role, Garret seeks redemption by taking responsibility for the woman he widowed and her baby. Though he is determined to do whatever it takes to protect them, is he willing to risk everything for a woman whose heart is buried in a grave? |
A tender tale of overcoming and second chances, Texas Forsaken takes you to 1860 and the great divide between those who fight for the land they treasure and those who take it. In this first novel of her Lonestar Redemption series, Sherry Shindelar showcases memorable characters, heart-wrenching history, and a love that weathers the worst to begin anew in the most unexpected of ways.
