Courtney lives through an Indian attack, and is stranded in the town of Rockney with her stepmother. Believing her father dead, she is surprised to see a photo in a newspaper that looks like him.

Chandos is a gunfighter on a mission. But he has ties with Courtney that he just can't break. ( )

Tiffany Warren está a punto de casarse, pero no por amor sino para poner fin a una enemistad. A regañadientes, viaja al Oeste para encontrarse con su padre y con el hijo mayor del enemigo de este, el ranchero Hunter Callahan. La unión entre Hunter y Tiffany está destinada a que los Warren y los Callahan dejen de disputar por una parcela de tierra.
Pero el tren en que viaja es atacado, y durante la confusión Tiffany aprovecha la oportunidad para adoptar la identidad de la nueva ama de llaves de su padre, lo que le permitiría vivir con el progenitor al que nunca ha visto y evaluar su auténtico carácter, y también el del vaquero vecino con el que está comprometida...

As usual Johanna did not disappoint. It was a sweet story, but a bit of adventure, damsel-in-distress, and of course denial of feelings. It was just the escape I needed. I can't wait to read the next in the series. I wonder if it will be the continuing adventures of Chandos and his "Cateyes" or another member of the Stratton family that has yet to be introduced. ( )

I have wanted to read Johanna Lindsey for a few years now. A Heart So Wild is set in Kansas in 1868. The two main characters are Chandos and Courtney. When the first meet in 1868 it is not a pleasant one. Courtney is traveling with her father and step-mother from the east coast. They have stopped at a farm for the night and that farmer is attached by Indians for his role in the brutal murders and rapes of a Comanche tribe.

Courtney and her step mother Sarah are told to hide in the feed storage so they are protected from the Indians. They are discovered but not hurt because when Chandos sees Courtney he feels that she reminds him of his sister that was murdered and raped by the white man and he cannot to that to her.

Four Years later Sarah has re-married because she thinks Courtney's father is dead. Courtney works in the hotel that Sarah's husband owns. She keeps old newspapers just to know what is going on outside of Kansas. That is when she sees an picture of her father in a Texas papers. She is determined go to Waco to find him.

A gunslinger comes to town and that is who Courtney decides should take her to Waco. He will not do it at first. He is drawn to her and tells her to be ready in an hour. The tension between the two is just unnerving. They are attracted to each other but both are too stubborn to admit it. Courtney does not know that the gunslinger she is with is the Indian she met 4 years before. She just knows that she trusts him and his blue eyes.

I loved the whole story. The attacks that they went through. Chandos attacking Courtney to try and teach her that she should't have trusted him. Him not being able to hurt her and also him wanting to protect her from the beginning. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. ( )
