The way some things were explained, I had a feeling that this was part of a series. Bummer! After finishing the story, I found that TEXAS HERO is the third book of a trilogy. The books in the series are listed below.
Caroline Adams is on her way to a teaching job in Hope, Texas, when the stagecoach in which she is traveling is attacked by robbers. Everyone on the stagecoach is killed except this young woman. As three men are assaulting her, Thad Conway stumbles upon the robbery and saves Caroline.
However, he is injured and they hide out in a cave. The next morning, Thad and Caroline are attacked (by the same robbers) again. Thad is injured again. They travel to town quickly so Thad can see a doctor.
As Caroline walks into the surgery a little after Thad, she sees that the doctor is demanding that he bite onto a strip of leather. Caroline is horrified by the pitiful ?doctoring? until she is told that Thad refused anything for pain and that the doctor is his brother.
Miss Adams doesn't talk about herself and Thad starts to wonder about her. He is also attracted to the prim spinster ? but isn't happy about it. Caroline soon learns that she was rescued by a famous gunfighter, The Texan.
Caroline soon settles in and starts teaching; both she and the local families are happy with the school and her teaching. When folks ask Caroline about some of the local activities, she tells them that she's never attended anything such as they are discussing. The reader and the parents start to see that there is something unusual about Caroline.
At the church social, her food basket is bought by a stranger for an unbelievable $100. During the hub-bub over the stranger's purchase, Caroline disappears. Thad finds her and demands an explanation.
This story is so good because of all the twists and turns; things that we think mean one thing turn out to be another. This a great story and a quick read.
