The Redeemers — Clayton Matthews

The Moraghans and the Dankers. Theirs was a brutal blood feud that set the dusty prairies of East Texas aflame with tragic violence. But Lena, a fiery auburn haired beauty in the prime flush of womanhood, was fighting a more personal battle--the cruel achings of an overwhelming yet forbidden love. So Lena escaped to the bawdy, lawless Texas frontier where a woman alone meant but one thing to trail-hardened men, and where she soon triumphed in a scandalous new life on stage in a travelling theatre... and off stage in the arms of a medicine show charmer. But through it all, she longed for the ecstatic embrace of the one darkly sensual man who had first quickened her heart...who still throbbed in her soul as the one, inescapapble passion she could not forget, and never live without.
