Produktbeschreibung

On the windswept shores of the Eastern seaboard, Claire Williams felt a yearning for something more than the quiet life of a rancher's daughter. While her family tended to the rugged earth, her soul dreamed of the vast, untamed landscapes of the Wild West.

It was this insatiable wanderlust that led Claire to the doorstep of a discreet marriage broker, her heart set on finding a suitable husband to whisk her away to a life of adventure. The broker's ledgers revealed a most intriguing candidate - Jose Ramirez, a rugged rancher from the sun-drenched hills of Mexico.

Jose, it transpired, was a man ahead of his time, pioneering innovative ranching techniques to safeguard his flock from the very predators that nature intended to be their demise. These progressive methods were gleaned from a sojourn in the valleys of Chile, where an old friend had imparted generations of wisdom.

As their correspondence blossomed, Claire and Jose discovered a kindred spirit in one another - two restless souls united by a thirst for new frontiers. Emboldened by their connection, Jose extended a tantalizing offer - a train ticket to the fledgling town of Willow Creek, nestled in the heart of Northern California, where he would await her arrival with the promise of a life less ordinary.

With a spirit as indomitable as the western winds, Claire bid farewell to the familiar shores of her youth and boarded the iron horse that would deliver her to her destiny. The rocking train cars transporting her across vast, sun-scorched plains and over mighty rivers swollen with the spring thaw.

At last, the locomotive's whistle pierced the dusty air of Willow Creek, and Claire descended onto the wooden planks of the depot, her gaze instantly falling upon the broad-shouldered figure of Jose Ramirez. In that charged moment, the world seemed to fall away, leaving only two intrepid souls united by a daring dream.

Jose whisked his potential new bride away to the magnificent expanse of his ranch, a sea of golden grass capped by cloud-painted skies. Here, under the tutelage of her husband, Claire would embrace the challenges of an untamed land, working in tandem to build a sustainable future for their flock.

Autorenporträt

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
