title: Two Texas Hearts
author: Thomas, Jodi
description: Kora Adams did not believe in curses, but she had known nothing but bad luck all her life.  Then, one night, there was a knock on her door.  It was a handsome but solemn stranger with a story to tell.
  
  Winter McQuillen had inherited a sprawling Texas ranch not far from the one room cabin Kora called home.  But the only way he could claim it was if he found a wife that night.  Winter had but one question for Kora: Would she marry him?
  
  The thought of wedding a man she did not know scared Kora to death.  But the security of marriage - - and even the faintest hope of love - - was like a dream come true.  Kora knew she needed every bit of comfort marriage would provide.  What she didn't know was that Winter needed her even more. . . .
