Whirlwind Texas #1
Whirlwind Bride
COULD A HOTHOUSE FLOWER BLOOM UNDER BURNING TEXAS SKIES?
Riley Holt didn't think so. Susannah Phelps was fair, fragile... and wholly unsuited for frontier life. And being pregnant didn't help matters. What she needed was a ticket back east -- or at least someone to protect her. And damned if fate didn't keep volunteering him for the job!
If Riley Holt didn't want to marry her, at least he could believe in her, Susannah fumed. Running a charm school in the Wild West proved she could survive and make a place for herself out here, away from scandal. Now, if only she could stop wishing that place were at his side!

About the author
Debra Cowan
58 books28 followersaka Debra S. Cowan, Debra Marshall
A native Sooner, romance author Debra S. Cowan was born in Idabel, Oklahoma, and later moved to the Tulsa area. Like many writers, Debra made up stories in her head as a child. Her B.A. in English was obtained with the intention of following family tradition and becoming a school teacher, but after she wrote her first novel, there was no looking back.
An avid history buff, Debra enjoys traveling. She has visited places as diverse as Europe and Honduras, where she and her husband served as part of a medical mission team. Debra still lives in Oklahoma with her husband.
She is a member of Romance Writers of America and is the Past President of Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Her writing has been called "fast-paced", "vivid", "emotionally satisfying", and distinguished by "strong, compelling characters". Romantic Times Magazine says, "Her stories have the charm, tenderness and sensuality that captivate and enchant." Affaire de Coeur predicts, "Cowan shows the beautiful promise of a rising star." And The Literary Times urges, "Treat yourself to a novel by Debra Cowan. You'll be glad you did."

This was an "easy" read but didn't come together for me until the end. It was a little drawn out I thought.
