Swept Away (Trouble in Texas) (Volume 1)
by Mary Connealy - This humorous western romance and adventure starts out with Luke Stone being accused of robbing a stagecoach as he's passing through a small town on his way back to Broken Wheel; and with Ruthy MacNeil ready to ford a fast-moving stream with the rest of the wagon train west she's traveling with. Luke manages to get out of town and on his way, realizing that he was being framed, and rides hard for his home. The reason for his hurry? He needed to reclaim his family's ranch, which had been stolen by a ruthless land-grabber who had forged the sale document and killed Luke's father. Luke had friends in town that he had served with during the Civil War, and the small band of men was ready to stand with Luke in the battle for his property.
But Luke stumbles across a young woman who needs help - Ruthy was injured and nearly drowned when a flash flood struck her wagon train, and she is the only survivor, carried miles downstream. Since she has nowhere else to go, and Luke is in a hurry, he takes her along and the two develop a friendship. Ruthy makes Luke's cause her own after meeting his friends and learning about the situation at Broken Wheel.
Although there's humorous exchanges and situations, the story focuses on Luke and his friends risking everything to restore the ranch to Luke and to save the villain's wife and her children from his abuse. The odds are stacked against them, but of course justice wins the day, and Luke and Ruthy find true love along the way as well.
