Texas Lily (Too Hard to Handle, #1)

Gently raised and badly treated, Lily Porter married Jim Brown without love to have a father for her child. She tried to be a good wife to the rancher as he carved out a cattle kingdom. But now her husband was gone. She was a woman alone, with a child to raise and a ranch to run, in a land aflame with violence and ripe for rebellion, where women were expected to be seen and not heard. Lily needed a man to stand up for her and her land.

The man she chose was just called Cade, part Apache, part Mexican, proud and reckless. He had a past and a secret he would not reveal, but he possessed a power and passion that commanded all in his path. Lily willingly joined with him in a struggle against treachery and terror—and in a love she would risk anything not to lose.
