Setting: Texas, 1865
Sensuality: 7
The bastard son of an English duke, Grayson Rhodes agrees to travel to America with a group of young rakes and rogues to make his fortune. Although he's surprised to learn that their leader's get-rich scheme involves hiring them out as Texas cotton field workers to replace men lost in the Civil War, Grayson is determined to succeed. Assigned to widow Abbie Westland's homestead, it isn't long before Grayson is as attracted to her strength and beauty as he is to the Texas landscape. The hard manual labor makes Grayson stronger but he soon loses his heart to the widow and her lovable children. However, Abbie's past haunts her and threatens the hope of a happy future with Grayson.

A Rogue in Texas is rich in memorable characters, with a hero who is strong enough to survive and thrive in a new world and a heroine who finds in her man a depth of love she was unaware existed. The Texas landscape and 1860s farm life come alive in vibrant colors. Just when you think the ending is a foregone conclusion, Heath surprises you with a new twist in the plot, making this a historical treat on many levels. --Lois Faye Dyer

Lorraine Heath has a way of making even the most cliched and overused plot devices seem fresh. While I didn't think this book was as good as Always to Remember, it's still very good and kept me from going insane on the long flight to DC from San Francisco.

I look forward to reading Kit's story.
