Coral Morgan is running from an immoral man who would sell her to the highest bidder. Her only hope of escape is to assume another woman's identity and take her place on a wagon train heading west. She has scarcely begun her journey when she discovers that she has escaped one wicked circumstance only to be faced with another, even more insidious fate.
Wagon master Luke McDade is, by his own admission, a drifter and a hell-raiser. He likes being footloose and having the freedom to keep discovering what's over the next hill. Then he meets the mysterious and beautiful Lilly Malone who sets his heart spinning even though he suspects from the beginning that Lilly is not who she claims to be. The surprise comes when he discovers not who she is, but what she is.
Billie and Herb Houston have been writing as a team since 1990. Billie is a former teacher and educator. She holds an undergraduate degree in history and a graduate degree in educational psychology from The University Of Texas at San Antonio. Herb is a former teacher, computer programmer and technical writer for the Air Force. He holds a degree in education from Trinity College in Fort Worth, Texas.
Billie and Herb write the kind of books they enjoy reading -- stories about relationships; stories that explore feelings and probe emotions. The plots revolve around ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances and faced with difficult decisions.
