When a coincidental meeting brings nurse Levee O'Reilly and Rancher Daniel Neville together, they're awakened to a long-ignored desire for love and acceptance by the realization that they might have finally found it.  Can these two mavericks accept the plans God has for their lives?

This is the 2nd book in the Lone Star Legends series by author Loree Lough.  I was left in suspense in book 1, Beautiful Bandit, when Levee O'Reilly is left stranded with her dead husband after their stagecoach was attacked by a gang of Outlaws.  I am excited to get to read this continuation of Levee's story.  She is a dynamic character in this story, and I love how she stepped right into the teaching position in town, and kept her life going even after the tragic death of her husband.  She shows such faith and strength of character throughout the story, but also is so realistic in her emotions and desires.
The only thing I did not like about this book, is that I will have to wait so long for the 3rd book to be published!
Maverick Heart is due in stores January 2011.
