Texas Bride

NIGHT RIDERS
They were a crack team of Confederate raiders, striking behind enemy
lines under cover of darkness, operating with one mind, one heart. Until
one of their number betrayed them all. In the aftermath of tragedy,
they swore they would lire to hunt down the traitor. But to each, life
would bring first a woman and then a revelation: Far sweeter than
revenge is love.
OWEN
He was the good-looking one, the one who'd always counted on his charm
to get by. But the war had changed them all, leaving Owen painfully
aware that looks could kill as surely as bullets. On the trail of the
traitor, he no longer prided himself on his ability to break hearts,
especially when the heart belonged to a girl as plain-featured and
plain-spoken as Hetta Gwynne. Hetta made it clear she had no interest in
winning a man, only in winning back her ranch. But after tasting her
surprisingly heated kisses, Owen realized it was his own heart that was
in danger of breaking unless he could change her mind.
