Book Blurb for Breed True
Half-Kiowa rancher Grady Hawks owns 9,000 acres of water-enriched Texas grassland. But when the Eastern Land Company moves to steal Hawks Nest Ranch, claiming Grady is too Indian to rightfully control it, Grady decides to apply what he’s learned in mixing different strains of cattle.
He needs to find a red-haired wife and breed back to the fair skin and Scottish features of his father. With a white child and wife, he plans to appease his neighbors and outmaneuver the greedy Eastern consortium of businessmen who are trying to steal Texas land.
But when Grady marries auburn-haired widow, Julie Fulton Rossiter, breeding cattle is the last thing on his mind. Julie doesn’t want a husband, but with an accusation of murder threatening her, Grady Hawks’ offer of marriage is something Julie needs. When unexpected passion burns hot between them, want and need take on a whole new meaning.
