When Texas Ranger Jake McCain
passes out in a blizzard at the door of Rachel Hudson's cabin, he's
sure this is the end. But, in fact, it's only the beginning.
Finding himself a patient of
the pretty school mistress, more than learning lessons enters Jake's
mind. But he's got a vicious, vile outlaw to capture and Miss Hudson
has children to teach. Besides, being a half-breed means he can only
dream about a wife, family and a home. Not accepted by either race
except when they need someone to protect and defend, he learned long
ago what being an outcast means.
Rachel has secrets of her own
that keep her on the edge of acceptance in her town, despite the
amorous attentions of the son of the leading citizen. When the town
denizens learn she's been harboring a man, even an injured man, they
turn on her.
Jake leaves Rachel to bring
the outlaw to justice and the real story unfolds. It's a tale of
death and destruction with Rachel's past the connecting link.
Reading the first few
chapters, Touch of Texas seemed a predictable romance.
Then I turned the page and the real adventure began. In her debut
novel, Tracy Garrett layered in enough obstacles and challenges to
keep me turning those pages in this story of love, loss and
determination.
