HALF-BREED'S LADY
by Bobbi Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
To
artist Glynna Williams, Texas was a land of wild beauty, carved by God’s hand,
untouched as yet by man’s. And the most exciting part of it was the fierce,
bare-chested half-breed who saved her from a rampaging longhorn bull. Just as
the untamed wilderness called to the painter in her heart, Hunt’s mesmerizing
eyes touched the woman in her.
As
she spent the days sketching his magnificent body, she dreamed of spending the
nights in his strong arms. Glynna knew the paintings she’d done of his Comanche
people would guarantee her success as a Western artist, but would she ever
succeed in capturing Hunt’s wary heart? He’d been trapped and wounded before by
a white woman. Now only the gentle bonds of love could make Glynna
the…Half-Breed’s Lady.

Excerpt One:
Glynna hadn’t
meant to forget the stage driver’s warning to stay close, but as she roamed
away from the road, sketchbook in hand, she became more and more entranced with
the beauty of the wilderness surrounding her. Her creativity was urging her on.
This landscape was why she’d come to Texas.
She wasn’t sure
how far she’d wandered from the stage when a vista unfolded before her that
left her enthralled. Low-growing mesquites and cedars provided the perfect
frame for the view of a distant mesa. It rose tall and powerful against the
horizon, its colors vivid in the brilliance of the afternoon sun. Sitting down
on a rock nearby, she never let her gaze shift from the view.
She worked for
some time, trying to capture the essence of the wild, untamed land. Her
concentration was such that she didn’t hear the rustling in the brush nearby. She
was focused only on her work. It was the man’s shout that jarred her back to
awareness of where she was, and it was then that she saw him. A bare-chested warrior, leaning low over his
horse’s neck, riding straight for her. The expression on his face was savage,
and she was sure his intent was equally frightening. He looked deadly, fierce,
and it was then she remembered the stage driver’s warning that renegades might
be in the area. Frantic, she looked around, trying to decide where to run.
Desperate to escape, she tried to flee. It was then that a strong arm snared
her around the waist and hauled her roughly up against him.
