Wild Texas Rose (2015)
“Why, oh why, had she been so weak? Why had she responded to him with such ardency? Because she loved him, she realized. That emotion was beyond her control, but she would be tarred and feathered before again allowing him to know how deeply he had hurt her.
The covered wagon was rolling along the path that led from Crosswind’s outlying reaches to the Jaye property. Since they had left the line shack, Whit had been trying to cajole Mariah into changing her mind about his proposition.
She’d have n...o part of it. To be an old-maid schoolteacher had to be better than being just another notch on Whit Reagor’s bedpost. She had a right to be angry. He was callous, heartless.

Mariah faced reality. Once more she had lost, and this was the most wrenching loss of her life. But she couldn’t take to some lonely bed and hide her grief.MoreLess
