The Indian heritage of McCall Adam's half-breed son, Drew, is a source of constant irritation to their bigoted neighbor. When Drew becomes friends with their neighbor's son, sparks fly.

She can see McCall's attraction to her in his eyes but how can Kate help to free him of his past love? Eventually, Kate burns the last rose her fiancé gave her before his death. Can she help McCall to find a way to `burn his roses' so they can build a life together?

TEXAS LADY
Co-authored by: Susan K. Downs
Maggie Alexander's whole life has been a lie. Uncle Cahill, the sweet, loving man who raised her, in reality was an outlaw--the very outlaw who caused the death of her parents. Now he too is dead at the hand of a criminal--one who may be after her, as well.
As a nurse to the town's only doctor, Maggie finds herself caring for a badly beaten man. In spite of his injuries, Levi Campbell is constantly smiling and teasing her. When the instant attraction between the two quickly grows to something much deeper, Maggie struggles with trusting Levi. If he knows the truth of her past, will the man of her dreams ride off on his horse and never look back?

TEXAS ANGEL
Co-authored by: Robert Osborne
When Angela Isaacs finds a badly wounded escaped criminal in her cornfield, she must make a spur-of-the-moment decision. The man declares he is the Reverend Noah Thorndyke, and that he is innocent. He pleads with Angela to hide him and care for his wounds. As a schoolteacher, Angela is concerned about risking her job and reputation to help Rev. Thorndyke. After prayerful consideration, she feels led to take a chance he's telling the truth. She could never live with herself if she turned in an innocent man.
Tensions mount as Angela hides Noah in her basement with both lawmen and outlaws searching for him. She continually struggles, wondering if she made the right decision.
Noah Thorndyke has no idea why he landed in jail and the very next day he is sentenced to hang. Rather than face death, he makes his escape, and is shot. Near the end of his rope, Noah finds help in the quiet schoolteacher. Can Noah and Angela find out who framed him and allow their growing attraction to bud into something deeper?

Debra White Smith has done a wonderful job with these interwoven stories of friends and family. I thoroughly enjoyed each one. Faith, mystery, suspense and romance all abound, deep in the heart of Texas.
