The prequel to the New York Times bestseller The Texan
Sprawling 1840s Texas comes alive in the hands of Joan Johnston, New
York Times bestselling author of The Cowboy and The Texan.
Introducing the unforgettable Creed dynasty, transporting us back to a
wild, lawless frontier, Johnston brings us a stirring, passionate story
of Texas Ranger Jarrett Creed and the free-spirited beauty who captures
his heart--a woman sworn to love no man.
FRONTIER WOMAN
Captured by Comanches as a boy, Jarrett Creed grew to manhood torn
between two worlds. But with the young republic under siege from
ravaging Mexican armies and marauding Indian tribes alike, he made his
choice. Now, as a secret government mission brings the Texas Ranger to
lovely Cricket Stewart's door, he must choose again.
The youngest daughter of a wealthy gentleman planter, Cricket lives life
as she pleases and vows never to be a wife to any man. Until the day
Jarrett Creed saves her from avenging Comanches . . . by claiming her as
his bride.
The last thing either expects is to fall in love. But as a traitorous
conspiracy and a secret tragedy test their newfound union, a
wild-spirited beauty and a Texas lawman will discover just how far they
will go for their precious homeland--and for a love that could free them
from the sorrows of the past.
