📚 Book 1 of a completed 3-book series
A spirited Texas beauty who's vowed never to marry meets her match in a rugged Texas Ranger caught between two worlds—and when he claims her as his bride to save her from danger, neither expects the fierce passion that ignites between them. Set against the wild, lawless backdrop of 1840s Texas, this sweeping prequel introduces the unforgettable Creed dynasty through a story of two fiercely independent people discovering that love might be the most dangerous territory of all. As political conspiracies and buried tragedies threaten to tear them apart, Jarrett and Cricket must decide what they're willing to risk for each other and the homeland they're fighting to protect. Joan Johnston crafts an absolutely captivating tale of frontier romance that'll have you swooning over a couple who were never supposed to fall in love—but absolutely had to.
Reading soundtrack
Rugged acoustic folk meets smoldering tension—think whiskey-warm country ballads, fingerpicked guitars, and sultry indie-folk. Capture the dust of untamed wilderness, slow-building desire, and two fierce souls clashing then melting together. Artists like Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, and Jason Isbell vibes.
