THE NAMING OF
BUCKSKIN ANGEL
by Dorothy Wiley, Author
Storyteller of Love and Heroes on the American Frontier
One of the things I've always been puzzled by is the depiction of angels as beautiful females. Usually, they have flowing gowns and glowing hair. This depiction hung over my bed when I was a little girl.

It’s 1824, and Captain Sam Wyllie and Bear MacKay, well-loved characters from the American Wilderness Series, agree they need one last adventure—a thrilling 800-mile journey through the American frontier to see their brother Stephen in the Province of Texas. Knowing that predators of all kinds lurk in the wilderness, their grown sons, Rory and Alexander, insist on going along to protect them. Or will their fathers be the ones who protect them from untold dangers?
Unknown to them, in the frontier town of Nacogdoches, Jessica awaits. So do even greater threats from a relentless stalker and a vicious gang known as Los Diablos Tejanos. Courage and character must go head-to-head against greed and violence. Two aging warriors learn they are not too old for a good fight or a wild adventure. And two young men learn they still have some things to learn. One of them discovers courage among the savagery. The other seeks the woman he somehow already loves.
And here's a review of the book, for which I am very grateful, written by our Cowboy Kisses Author Julie Lence (who also has a new release LANDRY, available on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3jc1qo7).
A Daring Journey to Romance
Rory Wyllie hails from
a large family of proud, brave men seasoned in war and honor, and who love
whole-heartedly. When his father and uncle suggest one last adventure to Texas
to visit their younger brother before age banishes them to front porch rocking
chairs, Rory and his cousin tag along under the pretense of keeping them safe.
Truth is Rory has a long list of skills he wants his father to teach him while
on the trail. But as lessons are learned and dangers are overcome, a woman he’s
never met invades his dreams nightly. Beautiful and intriguing; he’s certain
she’s waiting for him in Texas.
Devoted to her father
and the store they operate in Texas, Jessica Harrison longs for the right man to
come along and steal her heart. He has to be strong, courageous, and welcome
her thoughts on everything from Texas’ politics to tilling dirt. Local banker
Donny isn’t that man. He’s boorish, self-centered, and makes her skin crawl. If
only he’d stop insisting on courting her, but he turns up at every corner and
showers her with inappropriate gifts. At her wits end, she seeks his father’s
help, only to bring the wrath of the banking family down on her own father.
Amidst Texas’ early days of breaking away from Mexico, Buckskin Angel is ripe with scandal, a notorious outlaw gang, and sinister plots to overtake the innocent and line pockets with gold. But Rory and Jessica are determined to foil those who not only stand in the way of their love, but have stolen something more valuable than money. With a cast of interesting characters, a bit of humor, and the push for good to triumph over evil, Buckskin Angel will keep you entertained and riveted to your seat as you cheer for, and cry alongside, Rory and Jessica’s journey to happy-ever-after.
