title: Heart of Texas
author: Hemley, K.L.
description: There’s nothing more romantic than the Wild West and Mabel Milton should know – she’s a real life cowgirl, single-handedly running her own ranch ever since her parents died. Nobody knows more than she does about farming cattle and she’s the owner of one of the most successful ranches in the area. However, her simple life is complicated by the arrival of newcomer Jesse Lockwood. Good looking, arrogant and just plain irritating, Mabel somehow finds herself agreeing to drive her head across to Dodge City with his. Although his constant jokes are tiring, Mabel is forced to admit that the man knows his stuff and they manage to get their herds to Kansas without losing too many heads of cattle. Nonetheless, that’s just the beginning of their adventures as events in Dodge City take a difficult – and fatal – turn, marking the start of some troubled times as the harshest winter on record takes hold. Will Mabel and her ranch be able to survive? Can she learn to co-operate with Jesse Lockwood? And what will happen when Jesse’s old business rival, Max Harper, arrives in town?
