In 1846, Mariel Wolffe, a beautiful young emigre from Germany, has traveled tirelessly hoping to start a new life in the land of Texas. A handmaid to a wealthy German couple, her master beats her and Mariel's desperate to find a way out of the arrangement. But what can a single woman do on the difficult frontier?Texas Ranger Carson Quinn leads the party of German immigrants to the land they have purchased just north of San Antonio. Unfortunately, it is dangerous Comanche-held territory. And as the group comes under attack, he begins to build an attachment to the pretty young woman in a desperate situation.While Carson and Mariel draw closer, two armies gather and face each other across the Rio Grande. The US has annexed the young Texas Republic and Mexico will not accept this without a fight. Carson-a man experienced in war-is bound by honor to defend Texas. Yet his deepest longing is to lay down his rifle. As Mariel and Carson forge a promise for a future together, can her painful past and another war with Santa Anna destroy all their hopes?
