Introducing the unforgettable Creed dynasty, transporting us back to a wild, lawless frontier, Johnstonbrings us a stirring, passionate story of Texas Ranger Jarrett Creed and the free-spirited beauty who captures his heart -- a woman sworn to love no man.

FRONTIER WOMAN

Captured by Comanches as a boy, Jarrett Creed grew to manhood torn between two worlds. But with the young republic under siege from ravaging Mexican armies and marauding Indian tribes alike, he made his choice. Now, as a secret government mission brings the Texas Ranger to lovely Cricket Stewart's door, he must choose again.

The youngest daughter of a wealthy gentleman planter, Cricket lives life as she pleases and vows never to be a wife to any man. Until the day Jarrett Creed saves her from avenging Comanches... by claiming her as his bride.

The last thing either expects is to fall in love. But as a traitorous conspiracy and a secret tragedy test their newfound union, a wild-spirited beauty and a Texas lawman will discover just how far they will go for their precious homeland -- and for a love that could free them from the sorrows of the past.
