Jodi Thomas - When a Texan Gambles

It all started when she got thrown off the wagon train. Now, a crook is dead and Sarah Andrews has been raffled off in a "Wife Lottery."

That seems bad enough-- until she discovers her new groom with a knife in his back.

He just barely survives--and now if Sarah doesn't get him out of town fast, someone is going to make sure Sam Gatlin doesn't live long enough to enjoy the honeymoon. No matter what he may have done, or how many enemies he has, Sarah feels she owes him. After all, he saved her from a life in prison. But never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that this dangerously attractive Texan would steal her heart and make her want to take the biggest gamble of all....

When Kara O'Riley found herself desperately fleeing family troubles in Pittsburgh in 1874, she sought the fresh start she needed in the vast, wild land she'd heard was filled with opportunities for dreamers and rogues alike. A chance to work on an isolated Texas ranch seems like a godsend, though her employer, Jonathan Catlin, is said to be as mean as a rattlesnake. Kara is convinced that, despite his cold ways, Jonathan has a good heart. After all, he didn't rescind his job offer, even after her disastrous exit from a second-story window following her interview. And he didn't send her packing, even after she spent the supply money he'd advanced her helping a needy widow. And he didn't fire her, even after he realized how little she really knew about the bookkeeping he'd hired her to do as he struggled to save his family's ranch. Jonathan might tell himself that he's just putting up with Kara because she is the only person who can help him save the child of his Apache brother -- the only one who seems to understand what it's like to live between two worlds, as he does, belonging to neither. But, as they lie, trick, and bamboozle their way across Texas together, Kara keeps insisting Jonathan is a good man -- until he finally believes he's good enough for the feisty Irish beauty who has stolen his heart. Jodi Thomas blends complex plotting and captivating characters into a passionate story that's funny and sad in all the right places.

Welcome to Harmony






A PLACE TO BELONG

Sixteen-year-old runaway Reagan has always wanted a place to belong. She's never had a real home of her own, but maybe she can borrow someone else's. At least for a little while...

At the nursing home where Reagan works, Miss Beverly Truman's fond memories of Harmony, Texas, seem to fill an empty space inside the girl. After Miss Beverly passes away, Reagan travels to Harmony, pretending to be the woman's granddaughter, and is taken into the home of Beverly's surviving brother.
