For Flames on the Sky.

Texas Ranger, Birdie Braxton boards the Brazos Belle to attend a costume party, gets tossed into the Brazos and when she’s pulled from the river she’s told the year is 1890. A fact she can’t accept … until she looks across the river to see Birdie’s Nest, her ancestral home, no longer exists. Tad Lockhart is a content man—a prosperous rancher with a ladylove in Waco. He’s not interested in marriage and family, yet … until he pulls an unconscious woman from the Brazos who insists she’s a Texas Ranger from the year 2012. As romance blooms between Tad and Birdie, she struggles to earn enough money to build Birdie’s Nest, and Tad strives to mold Birdie into a Victorian lady suitable to be his wife. Can Birdie give up dabbling in police work and other unladylike pursuits yet stay true to herself? When faced with an indiscretion from Tad’s past, is Birdie strong enough to support her man and be the woman he needs?
