About the Book
Jessie Devlin possesses second sight, a prophetic gift inherited from the “Old Ones” - her Irish Druid ancestors. A survivor of the Great Chicago Fire, she endures nightmares in which a stranger with gentle, loving eyes saves her from a horrible death. Believing him real and they are destined to love, she heads west with her prospector brother, on a quest to find her dream hero, despite knowing a demonic villain may also lurk beyond the horizon.
Captain David Taylor is a Texan banished by his father after fighting for the “wrong side” in the Civil War. Now serving on the western frontier, he longs for home and a family, but he’s haunted by memories of his unfaithful mother and has yet to meet a woman he would trust to stand by him.
A lovely, sharp-tongued colleen with a firecracker temper is not what he’s looking for, but when he meets Jessie Devlin and she stares at him as if seeing a ghost, his views of life and love are challenged.
While saving Jessie from her misadventures, David must face his own demons and come to terms with the past. The passionate struggle between the two leads them across half a continent, through danger and emotional upheaval, culminating in a ferocious battle between good and evil on the Texas plains.

About the Author
Lyn Horner now writes fulltime – her second career. She enjoys letting her imagination roam across time and space, and living a life of adventure with her characters.
It took her years to complete the first manuscript, and caused many anxious moments when she began submitting proposals to New York publishers. She obtained an agent (two different ones actually) and came close to making a sale a time or two. She was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Orange Rose contest in 2008 and drew interest from an editor. Again, it was a case of "close but no cigar."
After that she quit writing for a while. Then, in 2010, an author friend convinced Lyn to try self-publishing. So, she self-published Darlin’ Druid and have since published three more books.
Lyn Horner is currently writing the third Texas Druids book. It’s Rose Devlin’s story. She is the youngest of the three psychic siblings and has led a sheltered life until recently. Danger, excitement and romance await her in Texas and the Indian Territory.
Lyn Horner is a member of Romance Writers of America, Yellow Rose RWA, Celtic Hearts Romance Writers and Hearts Through History Romance Writers.
