Three Brothers. One Oath.

No Compromises.

The MEN of LEGEND

One bullet is all it takes to shatter Houston Legend’s world. He swore he’d never love again, but with the future of the Lone Star Ranch on the line, he finds himself at the altar promising to love and cherish a woman he’s never met—a woman whose vulnerable beauty touches his heart.

All Lara Boone wants is a name for her baby. The best she can hope for is kindness and acceptance. She never expected to fall in love with her own husband—or any man—after the heartache she’s endured.

In an effort to save the Lone Star Ranch, Houston decides to drive two thousand longhorns up the Great Western Trail to Dodge City. The day before he leaves, the cook quits. When he can’t find another on such short notice, Lara offers to go along and fill in. Over his best judgement, he lets her. Three days out, he notices riders trailing them. Things go from bad to worse and it’s an all-out fight to try to save themselves and the herd.

And when Lara’s troubled past catches up with them, Houston will move heaven and earth to protect his bride…and discover depths to a marriage of convenience neither realized could be theirs to claim.

Linda Broday, Historical Western Romance Author

I’m a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of 8 full length historical western romance novels, with another set to release 2017, and 10 short stories. Watching TV westerns during my youth fed my love of cowboys and the old West and they still do. I reside in the Texas Panhandle on land the American Indian and Comancheros once roamed. At times, I can feel their ghosts lurking around every corner. Texas’ rich history is one reason I set all my stories here. I love research and looking for little known tidbits to add realism to my stories. When I’m not writing, I collect old coins and I confess to being a rock hound. I’ve been accused (and quite unfairly I might add) of making a nuisance of myself at museums, libraries, and historical places. I’m also a movie buff and love sitting in a dark theater, watching the magic on the screen. As long as I’m confessing…chocolate is my best friend. It just soothes my soul.

    So nice to have you here today Linda! I hope my followers enjoy the short story!

    And thank you for the kind words about my blog – I do try!

    Thank you for having me, Storey Book Reviews! You have a nice place here. I think I’ll stay a while. I’m really excited about my new book – a marriage of convenience story. Houston vowed he’d never marry but with the fate of the Lone Star Ranch at stake, he reluctantly agrees to marry a women he’s never seen. They don’t meet until the wedding and Houston doesn’t know what he’s getting until he lifts her thick veil. But he’s determined to do the right thing – as long as it doesn’t involve his heart. The love that develops between he and Lara Boone takes a slow journey. They have to build trust first and after what Lara’s been through she doesn’t trust any man. I used a lot of tissues while writing this story. It touched me so deeply. But I also laughed. A lot. I think readers will love this, not only Houston and Lara but baby Gracie, Henry and the Boone brothers as well.

    And wow! You included the Saddlebag Dispatches magazine! Thank you so much. I was thrilled when they put me on the cover. And I loved writing that short story they included. I feel very blessed these days.
