At last: American historical romance with a fierce female protagonist.
I like stories where the damsel saves herself (and others, while she's at it).

Immerse yourself in 19th century San Antonio: the last echoes of the wild west. Brothels. Chili queens. Cowboys and ranchers and soldiers. And in the midst of it all, a young girl escapes a life as a soiled dove and finds paradise in the Hill Country with a laughing, blue-eyed boy and his gentle, enigmatic brother.
But a tragic set of events involving a mysterious man from her mother’s past who is obsessed with possessing Bailey, body and soul, tears her away from the enchanting world of Glory Creek. Fifteen years later, Dr. Bailey Rose makes a triumphant return to San Antonio with a single-minded goal to open a clinic in the Red Light District. Meanwhile, Jacob has emerged as a wealthy sheep rancher and mayoral candidate, but he is achingly lonely, still dreaming of that fiery-haired ghost-girl from his past.
But what possible future can there be for a woman with a twisted, violent past who harbors the secret of a heinous crime—and a respected, honorable man already promised to a blond beauty who is a perfect match for a politician?
The indissoluble tie that binds them together, one formed in an enchanted childhood encounter, has grown into one fueled by intense passion and an inexplicable soul-connection. Events force them apart and push them together again: a sweet suitor who seems to be a safe match for Bailey, horrific family secrets, a murder indictment and trial, Jacob’s conniving fiancé, and a plot twist involving an unfathomable threat from their past. An inspiring tribute to the pioneer women doctors who braved ridicule and prejudice to care for the very neediest—and to the men who loved and supported them. Historical romance, mystery, magical realism—and a touch of the paranormal—seamlessly blend in this series of the impossible, enduring love of a strong heroine and the man who loves her.
