Description
LAND OF STARS, from Amazon bestselling author Dorothy Wiley, continues the highly-acclaimed Wyllie family frontier saga. It's now 1824, and the Province of Texas, an exceedingly dangerous and volatile place, is the leading edge of the West and is seized by Mexico from Spain. Blending action and romance with vigilant research, Wiley brings to life the generations of driven men and women who shaped Texas -- all of them a part of the creation of a place that became not just a nation, not just a state, but an enduring dream.
Steve Wyllie, a young man with the courage and grit to confront the dangers and adversities of life in Texas, stands beside his brother Samuel and the rest of their family as they face a catastrophic flood. Their fevered need for the land that will erase the misfortunes that beset their family leads them well into Mexican Texas and the frontier town of Nacogdoches. But getting land is far more complicated than they anticipated.
Rebecca Tyler and her family, along with the rest of the town have been subjected to the tyranny of a cruel and corrupt Mexican Alcalde. Along with her parents, she has suffered unimaginable loss. Rebecca stays strong for her parents' sake. But her hurting and angry heart still demands justice. And hopes for love.
When Steve meets Rebecca, the attraction is immediate and compelling. As they both struggle against the dangers of the frontier, finding ways to help each other, they also discover the grand beauty of Texas. Will this new, unpredictable land provide a safe future for them? And will it include love? Steve is willing to do whatever it takes to help ease the pain Rebecca feels, no matter the cost to himself. But as he and his brother face the same corrupt Alcalde, he may be the one who needs saving.
This is the second breathtaking novel in the Wilderness Dawning Series, the Texas Wyllie Brothers. The first novel, RED RIVER RIFLES, set in 1818, brought the family to the Pecan Point Settlement where Steve's brother, Samuel, and Louisa carve out a life in the raw wilderness.
Wiley's Wilderness Dawning Series and her two other highly-rated series are gritty westerns, love stories, and gripping tales of the first daring settlers of the West. Her stories of the frontier and the pursuit of the American dream are tastefully romantic and authentic historicals set against the stunning backdrop of the wilderness.
