How passionate the Nineteenth Century! When daring ideas sparked modern innovations; discontent sparked European revolutions; and need for inspired leadership spurred Thomas Carlyle to ponder the qualities of "Great Men."
Yet the American frontier had its own visionaries ... and The Metairie Saga is a tempestuous tale of their daring spirits, devoted hearts and forbidden desires. Inspired by Goethe's "Dream no small dreams," this exciting new series often parallels cultural and historic European events, while literary details and classic illustrations enhance and inspire its pages.
Surviving Chicago's Great Fire, Galen Metairie returns to Alteza, his family's cattle empire in the Territory of New Mexico. But can the love of his young bride surmount the bond her mysterious husband and his brother's wife still share?
Or will a ruthless renegade prove a greater threat? Because if Moor is involved, the issue is never cattle or land or even wealth; but vulnerabilities ... and one man's power over another man's heart.
Long ago Galen Metairie had chosen devotion over desire. He knew what he could have ... and accepted what he could not; for he was as tightly bound by honor to his brother, as he was by his heart to his brother's wife.
Yet a stranger's lies provoked Ruark's jealousy ... and their enduring bond was fractured.
Exiled, desperate to end his longing, Galen married a girl he hardly knew ... determined to change his life. But when a dangerous adversary steals both women in ruthless retaliation, a daring young renegade steals them back!
Now, the Metairies must pay the price for Sully's unexpected rescue ... and his uncontrolled passion!
Uniquely passionate, Alteza unfolds
before us, a place where nothing is as it appears.
The old west enchants us with its
beauty and simple depth, but also stuns us with the fiery personalities we meet
there.
Each have secrets - inner desires
that drive them to love or ... feed darker obsessions.
A whalloping great read, that
enchants and thrills with its many layers.
Ideal for fans of historical
fiction, with emphasis on the 19th century, and also for fans of the legendary
poets and composers of the age, whose whispers can be heard in the winds of
Alteza...
