After a devastating event changes their lives, Alexandra and her brother Hugh are determined to get revenge on the man who tore their world apart.
Neither are prepared for the day their lawless life is irrevocably altered.
Jarett agrees to accompany a shipment of money into Kansas with the belief that no one would try to steal from him. When he comes face to face with two thieves, and things go horribly wrong, he is determined to find the boy who shot him. He’s not prepared for the stone wall he encounters while dealing with the townspeople, nor is he prepared for the enigmatic Alexandra Harris and his growing desire for her.
Knowing Jarett would see her hung if he uncovered the truth, Alexandra is determined to avoid him. However, the more they’re forced together, the more she realizes the man she considers her enemy may be the only one who can save her ravaged heart…
If he doesn’t kill her first.

Stolen Heart
Love it!.
An Amazing Read!
Alex and Hugh are alone in the world attempting to keep their ranch going after losing their father. The truth of his death is a secret very few know, and the man responsible is determined to push ranchers from their land in order to gain power and wealth. Missing cattle, destroyed property, and destruction wreak havoc at night. By stealing from the man responsible, Alex and Hugh are able to recoup a portion of what the ranchers lose due to his interference. Unfortunately, things change when Murdock hires Jarett to guard his money. Both he and Alex pay the price for underestimating one another. Jarett's pride is wounded, and he is determined to find the masked thief that shot him and received the same in turn. What neither of them bargained for was attraction that would supersede thoughts of revenge.
Admittedly, I was leery about reading a story set in the Old West. Thoughts of John Wayne or Clint Eastwood movies meandered through my head before I began reading. My devotion to reading everything Brenda K Davies writes nudged me onward, and of course I was hooked immediately. The characters in her stories are written with such clear distinction. The emotions are so well-explained that they take me along on the roller coaster ride as they struggle to overcome bitterness. Even better still are the moments when Jarett and Alex succumb to the passion they've fought only to find out they fit so perfectly together.
Who will continue this story? Paul? Charlie? As Anne Shirley would say (aka: Anne of Green Gables), there is much "scope for the imagination" left at the end of this tale to weave other stories that will be just as well-written and full of life as this one.
A Stolen Heart certainly is worth reading, and I look forward to reading everything Brenda offers in the years to come!
