Recently widowed Sarah Hornsby is determined to start a new life for herself in Texas. When Benjamin Drake, the lowborn son of an English earl, comes to Texas to make his fortune, he's determined to win her heart. Before long, these two second-class citizens discover a first-class love.
I have to say, I first bought this book for the ever-so-hunky Stefan Adreas Schwarze on the cover, but it turned out to be a very good book. I never did figure out, though, who was suppossed to be the wicked one? Certainly not Sarah, and I didn't even think of Ben as being the one. Perhaps it was Fairy/Merci? Probably not, she was so sweet, with wisdom beyond her years. I actually didn't see any villans in the book, truth be told. As for the way the book ended, I felt it was a bit abrupt, because we don't actually get to hear Sarah tell Ben her secret, and because I wanted an actual wedding ceremony & an epilogue of their life with kids & a ranch years later. Also, the book was a bit of a slow starter, the angst, if you could call it that, didn't start until sometime after the first 50 pages. All in all, a very good read.
