The Goldenrain Tree — Ione Martin

AN ENGLISH ROSE IN TEXAS

The Leaping T Ranch stood proudly in the center of the sprawling plains of Texas. And to lovely Leonora Carlton, fresh from London, it held the promise of an exciting new life.

Hired as the ranch's gourmet cook while still in England, Leonora had no idea that her new employer would be the handsome but extremely arrogant Worth Taylor.

Leonora mistrusted Worth from their very first meeting. She knew she should go home, yet her heart kept telling her to stay. She was spellbound by Worth, his slightest touch hinting of a passion she'd known only in dreams.
