Whispers of Love — Gina Robins

Impatient with the restrictions of a ladylike Boston education, spirited Skylar McRae joined her soldier father at Fort Phantom Hill on the Texas frontier, never dreaming that adventure and romance would claim her on her first solitary ride through the sun-drenched countryside. Swept away as a hostage by a vengeance-seeking stranger, Skylar tried every means of escape she knew, though the touch of Dakota Delany's muscular body made her blush with desire. The more miles they covered, the more her defenses crumbled, and it wasn't long before she yearned to surrender to his ardent kisses - kisses as hot as the desert sun - and melt into a rapturous embrace that would last her whole life through.
