She breathes life into memorable heroes struggling to survive in a savage new land where life is cheap and bloodshed is common. Based, in part, on the lives of real Texans, the Wyllie family meets danger head on again and again without ever losing their integrity.

Also, on my Facebook pages, I will be posting Captain Sam quotes throughout the month. Here's the first one recently posted on Facebook by one of my readers, Gena Marie Page Lewis:

In a strong voice, Sam told them, “Do you see this blade gentlemen? During the Revolution, I used this weapon to fight for our country. If needed, it will go to war again. As long as I am able, I will fight for America until our country is secure from all its enemies, no matter where they come from. Then my son will use it to do the same. Americans do not cower to their enemies. And we do not shrink from the duty to defend our nation. Nor do we fight for economic power or politics, as you men called it. We fight for freedom—a God-given value worth protecting at all costs.”
As Sam ripped the words out, people all around them stared and when he finished, many applauded. (From THE BEAUTY OF LOVE, in which Captain Sam is also a major character, by Dorothy Wiley.)

Synopsis:
In 1811, strengthened by his own struggles and triumphs, Liam Roberts earned the respect of his commanding officers and his current boss, cattleman Stephen Wyllie. Although Liam considers himself a homebody, he lacks a home. Tired of bunkhouse life, and twenty-five-years-old, he is ready for a home of his own and a family.

Polly Wyllie, Stephen’s nineteen-year-old bookish daughter, has graduated from an academy for young ladies. Liam and Polly’s fourteen-year-old brother, Samuel, are sent to escort her home. But their return to Wyllie Cattle Farm is endangered by a vicious hurricane-spawned thunderstorm that threatens their lives. The storm is only the beginning of the troubles and predicaments Polly and Liam must face while their attraction to each other grows. And when Liam brings a young orphan into their lives, their blossoming relationship grows even more complex.

But the worst test Polly must face is one she never expected—shocking news that changes everything.
