The Wildest HeartJacinta CareyWyoming, 1866Rebecca Whitaker is struggling to keep her family ranch from foreclosure by trading with the Shoshone Indians, working in a saloon, and raising horses. Enter the mysterious Walker Pritchard, claiming he wishes to stay with Rebecca to leave the memories of the war behind and learn about the ways of the west. Their intense attraction starts to turn to love, a new and dazzling experience for them both. But can Reb trust Walker? What are his real motives for coming to the Bar T, and how did he know there would be gold in those hills? Falsely accused of murder, Walker must make a terrible choice between telling the truth to clear his name, but putting Reb's family at even greater risk than they face already, or trying to defend himself without revealing all that happened at the fateful battle of Richmond.As their enemies close in, Reb must fight to discover the truth in time to save Walker as well as her ranch from the unscrupulous men who will destroy anyone or anything in the way of their greed and treacherous ambition.AN EXCERPT FROM THE WILDEST HEART:Walker heaved up the two pails onto his shoulders using a tree branch as a makeshift yoke, and went stumping into the kitchen. He put the pails down, and looked up to see a naked woman with the loveliest figure he had ever set eyes on rising from the foam. His mouth went dry. The tree branch fell with a clatter.Reb’s aqua eyes met Walker’s black ones briefly, before she ducked back down into the suds with a small squeak.“Walker, really, you should have shouted or something before you came stomping in here like that,” Reb grumbled, as she turned completely crimson.“I ,uh, I am sorry, Rebel, uh, but,” Walker stammered, as she avoided his gaze and sank down even deeper into the suds until he could barely see her.“But, Rebel, you could have just told me you were a woman, instead of playing such a silly game,” he began to scold. “What game?""I thought you were a boy!"Though how he could ever have made that error, he thought as he recalled her curves, he had no idea…Reviews:“A wonderful first novel. A brooding hero, feisty heroine, and a mysterious set of foes intent on destroying Reb’s ranch and the way of life in the West all make this a novel that will keep you turning the pages.” Under the Covers Book Reviews The Wildest HeartJacinta CareySetting: Wyoming, 1866Word Count: 98,000 words, approx 300 8.5 x 11 pagesRating: Quite Sensual, explicit love scenes throughout the book
