A Lady of the West
by Linda Howard
I really enjoy this author. This is the story of Victoria and Jake.
Victoria: beautiful, proper lady, martyr, marries an evil ruthless man, the Major. In order to lift her family out of poverty.
Jake: handsome, ruthless, hell-bent on revenge. Twenty years ago he witnessed the Major killing his family and raping and murdering his mother. The Major did this to steal their home. Now he and his brother Ben are going to kill the Major and his evil cow hands that do his bidding so they can reclaim their family’s legacy.
The attraction between Jake and Victoria is instant. Victoria falls for Jake but he tries to remain aloof. He marries Victoria after the Major dies. He is very dismissive and callous to Victoria. There is a lot of angst when he wrongs her to the point of seemingly no return. I enjoyed the angst and steam. He should’ve groveled more for what he did! He didn’t believe the baby was his, it was. To add insult to injury, he struck Victoria when she told him she was pregnant. It takes 3 months for her to allow him to touch her again. She doesn’t trust him, understandably. He realizes he’s falling for her and he is about to lose her. He finally tells her he loves her as their son is born.
