Flame (Lovegram Historical Romance)
Finding herself in trouble, and desperate not to shame her family, Flame Chadwick heads for Fort Hardaway in west Texas to join her fiance, hopeful for the kind of love her parents share for each other and their three daughters.  When Robert is killed in an Apache attack, however, Flame finds herself marrying scout Matthew Jackson, a cold man who believes her to be nothing more than she seems, a woman in trouble trying to land a husband and a place in society.  But an old tragedy that haunts Matt causes him to take his promise to Robert seriously.  Only when Matt realizes that Flame has overcome hardships just as he has and together the two must face even more tragedies, does he realize she is not what she originally appeared to be, but is in fact the woman he loves.  Though Flame realizes her love much sooner, it is her love for him that nearly costs her her life at the hands of Matt's old enemy.Evelyn has a special way with characters that makes you feel each emotion, living their lives through her eyes.  I look forward to the next installment in the Chadwick Trilogy - the two sisters, Raven and Angel are equally intriguing! These are characters to curl up with any time of the year Ms. Rogers turns a barren west Texas into a lovers paradise!  The name says it all - this one's hot!!Diane Potwin  --Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.  All rights reserved--FromLiterary Times
