I have read many Western historical romance novels and it is always a joy to find one that truly has original elements and that is the case here in The Wild Half.Lilah Martin is on the run, but not sure why or from whom. She remembers snippets of past horrors, a life of abuse from an early age and has her name from a locket, unsure that it is even hers. She has built a wall around herself, repelling everyone with a practised icy stare.Rick Winchester initially appears to be a regular cowboy with an eye for the ladies and plenty of charm. In fact, he too is running from his past, having never forgiven himself for the death of his beloved wife in childbirth.Neither plans to get close to anyone, but they find themselves irresistibly attracted. Rick is fascinated by the enigmatic Lilah and drawn to her in a way that he no longer thought possible after losing his wife. Lilah has been alone and on the run for three years and finds a kindred spirit for the first time in her life. Rick is domineering in his attempts to understand and protect her, leading to regular battles between them.The story slowly unravels the secrets of Lilah’s past and they face the dangers as they appear.
