"Lady Aline Marsden was brought up for one reason: to make an advantageous marriage to a member of her own class. Instead, she willingly gave her innocence to John McKenna, a servant on her father's estate. Their passionate transgression was unforgivable-John was sent away, and Aline was left to live in the countyside...and exile from London society.
...and he took her love.
Now McKenna has made his fortune, and he has returned-more boldly handsome and more mesmerizing that before. His ruthless plan is to take revenge on the woman who shattered his dreams of love. But the magic between them burns as bright as ever. And now he must decide whether to let vengence take its toll...or risk everything for his first, and only, love."

"This was such a cute book. It has quite a bit of humor to it that I haven't found very often. It was a very good book!

Andrew Haywood was in trouble...He knew he's promise to watch out for Cally DuBois. But he's never expect to be mooning over a wildflower of a woman who'd just as soon shoot him as look at him! Sheriff Haywood just kept looking out for her, no matter what kind of weapon she waved at him. And Cally was beginning to think the stubborn man was blinded by that fever she saw in his eyes every time he looked at her. A fever that seemed to be catching!"

"This is second book in a series of I think 2 books, there very well could be more but do not have them at this time. The First book is Follow the Wind in which I already have posted at this time. I am done with both of them and they are awesome as ususal ( I love all of Janelle Taylor's books.
I will tell you what the back of the book says.

Back Cover says:
Born of an Apaghe mother, trained in Apache ways, undercover agent Navarro Breed embarks on a perilous mission to save Geronimo and his people.
Seeking he own brand of justice against the gun-running desperadoes who killed her husband, Bethany Wind agrees to masquerade as
Navarro's wife,

It is a journey that will take then from the Arizona territory to a sprawling Texas ranch-- and the homeof the woman Navarro onced loved. And it is a journey that will take from danger to awakening desire - and the love and the love that is their extraordinary destiny....

In Chase The Wind.
Janelle Taylor has created an incomparable love story of two people who must battle the pain of the past to seize a radiant future. Set against the sweeping panorama of authentic western history, brimming with snsual passion and intrigue, it is the work of a master storyteller at her spellbinding best.
I highly recommend to read the Book "Follow the Wind" first before you read "Chase the Wind" They are really great books but might have a lot more meaning if you read them in order. You will understand what I mean if you ever order this from me. For these books seem to just go together. Enjoy!"

"Shannon Greenleaf had one chance to save the gracious Southern lifestyle she'd always known-but the fiery-haired beauty had to cross enemy lines to do it. And when she did, she found herself in the bedroom of the most handsome man she's ever seen- Blane Stevens. His broad chest and rippling muscles made her yearn for his strong embrace; his dark green eyes smouldered with a deep, burning passion. So when he held her in his arms threatening to torment her until she confessed her real mission, the defiant temptress was lost. She surrendered her innocence, vowing that she'd never reveal the truth- or let him capture her heart.
Blane Stevens could not have been more suprised than to find the intruder in his room to be as beautiful and desirable as Shannon Greenleaf. Yet there were ways of making spies talk- and Blane was a master at getting information. He took what he wanted and asked questions later, even from the innocent, young vixen in his bed. He knew Shannon was naive in the ways of love, but Blane couldn't control the overwhelming ecstacy he felt when he caressed her velvet flesh. He would sweetly torture her with pleasure all through the night, until she became his one and only....Destiny's Temptress"

"Easily the shyest Wallflower, Evangeline Jenner stands to become the wealthiest, once her inheritance comes due. Because she must first escape the clutches of her unscrupulous relatives, Evie has approached the rake Viscount St.Vincent with a most outrageous proposition: marriage!
Sebastian's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden's good name. Still, this bewitching chit appeared, unchaperoned, on his doorstep to offer her hand. Certainly an aristocrat with a fine eye for beauty could do far worse.
But Evie's proposal comes with a condition: no lovemaking after their wedding night. She will never become just another of the dashing libertine's callously discarded broken hearts- which means Sebastian will simply have to work harder at his seductions...or perhaps surrender his own heart for the very first time in the name of true love.
This is the 3rd or 4 books in the Wallflower series."

By the time he'd recovered enough to recall that it had been on a Wanted poster, he couldn't believe that she was guilty of any crime. Let alone murder!

Susannah claimed that she had been framed, but he would need to buy some time to prove her innocence.

And he was beginning to realize that protecting Susannah had become the only thing in the world that truly mattered."
