Alejandro paled considerably.

“I see that you needed reminding of what I
have become. Keep the
gentle nina
away from me or she will
suffer badly.” Esteban turned and walked away grumbling.

Alejandro caught his son’s barely
intelligible words—
she deserves better
— and that gave him a
ray of hope.

He would contact Roberto Curro, Rosalita’s
guardian, immediately. He was certain that the man would be most
cooperative. It was well known that Roberto was more interested in
coin than people. That was the only reason Roberto and his wife
Lola had taken the twelve year old girl in seven years ago.
Rosalita’s parents had passed away when fever had struck the
village. There were whispered rumors that a padre from a nearby
mission had paid Roberto to take the child in and care for her.

Alejandro would offer a substantial amount
for Rosalita. One that Roberto surely would not refuse, although he
might demand more. But Alejandro was willing to pay a king’s ransom
to buy his son a wife. Especially one his son had found some
interest in. He shuddered recalling his son’s sinful words from
moments before. Esteban was not the barbarian he painted himself to
be. Somewhere inside him was the respectful and caring son that he
had raised and perhaps Rosalita could help set him free.

He shook his head absentmindedly as he
finally climbed down out of the carriage. Esteban would not hurt
Rosalita. Never would his son surrender to such wicked thoughts.
Never.

“Rosalita will make Esteban a good wife,”
Alejandro murmured, as if saying it aloud would make it so. “She
will help heal him.”

Alejandro walked toward the door, his step a
little lighter, but he stopped suddenly just before entering the
house and crossed himself. “Please,
Madre Dios
, let it be
so.”

Author’s Note

When I first got published many years ago I
wrote romances set in the American West. I enjoyed exploring the
various times in American history and I loved discovering the
strength and courage of the characters that forged a nation.

I’ve pulled those books out of the archives
to make them available again. They are now part of my American
Collection. The books will introduce you to many intriguing
characters while touring the American west. You’ll visit the
Barbary Coast and Nob Hill in San Francisco and meet up with the
Dragon and the Serpent an unlikely pair to fall in love in my first
book
San Francisco Surrender
. You’ll have the best time in
the Dakota Territory with a proper Boston woman and an infamous
gunslinger in
Tame Your Wild Touch
. And you’ll enjoy seeing
what happens when a sheriff’s daughter has no choice but to wed an
English duke, another book set in the Dakota Territory in
Rebellious Bride
. You’ll travel back to the inception of Los
Angeles when the Spaniards owned the land and find yourself
enjoying the antics of a servant girl who bests an arrogant
Spaniard at every turn, though not when it comes to love in
Untamed Fire
. And finally the sequel to that book
Renegade Love
where readers can finally find out what
happened to Rosa.

Revisiting the American Collection books got
me itching to write more books set in the American West so I’m busy
doing just that. I’m working on a trilogy about three very
different women who wind up in a small western town and forge
unlikely friendships as they each fall in love with men not at all
suited for them... or so they think.

I hope you enjoy my American Collection as
much as I enjoyed writing them.

Happy reading... Donna Fletcher
