Jacob's Angel — K. Sue Morgan

A LEGACY SHE WOULD PROTECT
Maria Chavez had never entirely trusted the Anglos -- and Jacob Trovers was no exception, even if he had been a good friend to her dead brother Rafe. Sharing Rafe's legacy, the great ranch Spanish Oaks, with the arrogant Englishman was the last thing Maria wanted, yet succumbing to his heated kisses was a temptation she found hard to resist.
A LOVE HE WOULD CLAIM
His ancestral land in England lost, Jacob was struggling to make a new life near Austin's settlement -- and his dreams didn't include a bride. Yet one look at the dark beauty who was determined to claim her rights to Spanish Oaks aroused a passion he couldn't deny, and a resolve to fulfill Safe's last request... that Jacob make spirited Maria his wife.
