This story is a historical romance set in the the year 1834. There are several major things happening so get ready to be hit hard. 1) Texas wants to join the union but but the current United States doesn't want them. Sam Houston who is president of Texas has appealed multiple times. If they don't get to join the US the plan is to go from Texas all the to the west cost as the Empire of Texas. This book has some definite violence that may be offensive to some (The Comanches are fighting to keep their lands, The Comancheros, a brutal group of comaches and Mexicans who brutally kill settlers and wagon trains heading west. Women are also treated badly especially hite women who are raped and sold across the Mexican borders as sex slaves. All tho this book was written 1987, it justs goes to show how the world doesn't really change in that respect.
