"The Texas setting is familiar territory to Thomas's fans, as is the book's lively dialogue and endearing homespun characters ... this bright, character-centered tale should entertain fans of the Old West." Publishers Weekly

When a Texan Gambles
Jodi Thomas

It all started when she got thrown off the wagon train. Now, a crook is dead and Sarah Andrews has been raffled off in a "Wife Lottery." That seems bad enough-- until she discovers her new groom with a knife in his back.

He just barely survives--and now if Sarah doesn't get him out of town fast, someone is going to make sure Sam Gatlin doesn't live long enough to enjoy the honeymoon. No matter what he may have done, or how many enemies he has, Sarah feels she owes him. After all, he saved her from a life in prison. But never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that this dangerously attractive Texan would steal her heart and make her want to take the biggest gamble of all....
