In the vast wilds of Montana Territory, strikingly beautiful Zurina Vasco dreams of respectability. When cattleman Trey Wells's betrothed is kidnapped, blame falls on Zurina's brother--and a vengeful Trey demands she help him track them down.
The journey is perilous, and Trey is struck by Zurina's courage and strength--and the passion she ignites in him. He realizes she is the only woman for him--but there is much to overcome before he can give her the love, care and true home she deserves....
Dear Reader,
While living a childhood in the ranch country of Nebraska's sandhills, I grew to love the Old West. It seems I've written forever about that era-from the time my four daughters were just toddlers, in fact. Now, I'm a grandmother (but a young one, right?)
When we moved to eastern Nebraska and after I discovered Romance Writers of America and my local chapter, I learned the nuts and bolts of the publishing business. I studied, wrote, got rejected and wrote some more. Gradually, I began to place in contests, then win them. My writing became good enough that an agent signed on to represent me. I kept writing, got more rejections, but persevered, until one day-at last!-I sold a manuscript to Dorchester Publishing for their Leisure Books line.
I went on to release four novels from Dorchester, and Harlequin Historicals picked me up with my fifth book. As you read this, I've released my fourteenth romance, and I'm currently working on a project that's new and different and quite exciting. Stay tuned.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit more about me!
Pam Crooks
