title: Joseph's Bride
author: Wulf, Jessica
description: Spirited away from the hands of her callous father to the Western frontier by her grandfather, Annie Rose Jensen has blossomed into an ethereal beauty with a rare gift for taming horses. Though life in the secluded valley has protected her from the cruelties of the outside world, she longs for something more. Then Joseph Beaudine enters her life, a man whose dark eyes gaze deep into her soul and find secrets she can't deny.
  
  He sees her one misty, magical morning, and is riveted by the wondrous vision of her golden hair flying in the wind as she and her magnificent mare ride together in glory. Then and there she captures his heart and he vows to protect both the woman and the legendary horse men would kill to possess. Yet as desperate as he is to ease the haunting sadness in her eyes, he doesn't dare touch her--even though he knows she can feel the passion igniting between them, a fire that offers the gift of healing, if she dares to risk her heart...
