Of the 6 books in this series (so far), this is my favorite. This is the story of Sage McMurray and Drum Roak. Sage is the much younger sister to the McMurray men in books 1 3. Drum has been an interesting character; in book 2, he was introduced as a young thief. He played a larger part in the next book. Drum is definitely from the wrong side of the tracks but hes avowed his love for Sage since he was 16; Sage has never been impressed.

As the book opens, Sage is returning to her home at Whispering Mountain; she is a widowed doctor. While in Galveston, she meets the unsavory brother of her late husband. She has also brought her own nurse planning to open her practice in the small town near her familys ranch.

Sage and her nurse, while telling the brother-in-law good-bye in his Galveston gambling den near the docks, are caught up in a robbery. Sage is taken as a hostage to a dangerous robber hideout. Eventually, she is offered for bid as the nights entertainment (the new captive virgin).

Roak doesnt realize just how hard it will be to save Sage; (while Sage was East learning to be a doctor), he rose in the ranks to be one of the most dangerous gunmen in Texas.

The McMurray siblings Indian grandfather participates in the story in an unusual manner. This is a real page-turner. Enjoy!
