In her long writing career Sandra Brown has written only 4 historicals, these are two of them. They are far from her best but were her first attempt at a more serious story line.

In this steamy post-Civil War saga, the most stubborn woman headed for Texas meets her match in a mystery man with a dark past . . . and together; they must take down a common enemy.

No woman on the trek to Texas was more mysterious than Lydia Langston. No man was more stubborn than Ross Coleman…and both were running from the past. Lydia had vowed no man would ever take away her pride, while Ross Coleman stayed true to his wife, who had died in child-birth, the woman who had given him his son..

But despite their challenges, Lydia and Ross now find themselves together, fighting the same enemy and the same dangerous emotions building inside them . . . and unable to stop the events that will eventually pit a man’s deadly vengeance against the strength of a woman’s love.

Betrayal ruined Banner Coleman’s wedding day — and on her wedding night she was a jilted bride. But now, her innocence and pain have touched the heart of Jake Langston, a close family friend. Grappling with emotions that surprise them both, Jake and Banner are caught up in a scandal that could shatter a friendship and a family.

But theirs isn’t the only affair stirring up trouble in this rough cattle town. Twenty years ago the seeds of greed and desire were sown, and now the Texas landscape will once more reap the wild harvest of a man’s hunger and another man’s revenge.

Goodreads—“It’s bad. So bad it’s almost good. As these older romances can be. This one is a wonderful mix of both the very bad and the very good. I cringed a lot during this book and I cheered a lot too. At times it seemed like Sandra Brown had written two totally different sets of characters, especially the hero. Even in this older historical-romance story Sandra Brown showed that she was not going to be bound by the unwritten rules of romance and the plot refused to conform, which made for a very interesting story.”

Note—There is no “happy-ending”. At readers’ reaction to the ending, Sandra Brown’s answer was: That’s life”
