Fire Across Texas: 2 (Bellamys of Texas)

Hannah Barnes wife of the austere preacher Caleb Barnes is as dutiful and eager to please as she can be considering the big difference in their ages. Texas Ranger Jeb Welles on his way to the New Mexico territory stops at the Barnes place to tend to his horse. There he finds Hannah alone on the remote Texas property with no family or neighbors nearby seemingly in shock with blood on her clothes and her dead husbands body in the cabin. Something tells him shes no murderer but he cant be sure. He also cant leave the stunned widow alone out there. They bury the body and he offers to escort her to the nearest fort to seek help.Unaware that three murderers could be hot on their trail the pair set out together. Jeb has no idea how deeply this shy woman will work her way into his heart. Hannahs mission to avenge her husbands death turns into a passion neither of them could have foreseen. This courageous woman and rugged ex-lawman discover tenderness and love under the wide Texas sky.Praise for Susan Yawn Tanners Texas RomancesAction packed and poignant. ..builds tension from the very beginning and will keep you turning pages until the very end.
