    To avoid a scandal, a Texas debutante is forced into a marriage of convenience with a wealthy entrepreneur in this sexy nineteenth century western romance.  
     
    From the sensuous voice of novelist Brenda Joyce comes Firestorm, the extraordinary second book in the Bragg family saga. Here is the beginning of the Bragg empire—opulent and glamorous—vast, dangerous, and as untamed as the sweeping plains of Texas . . . 
     
    Storm Bragg could outshoot and outride any man, but her family decided it was time she traded in her buckskins for a ballgown and made her debut in San Francisco society. Quickly pursued by every eligible gentleman in town, the young hellcat from Texas had eyes for only one, and he was no gentleman. Brett D'Archand was a self-made success — arrogant, impossibly attractive, blatantly sensual — and looking for a wife who would give him respectability. 
     
    Storm was completely bewitched by him, but she made him lose his head as well as his heart. And, threatened by scandal and ruin, they are forced to wed — a tempestuous union of free spirits, shackled only by the irrepressible bonds of love.
