About this title

Review

One miserable rainy night, Douglas Clayborne goes to buy a horse and finds himself staring down the barrel of a rifle. Behind it shivers one very scared--and very pregnant--woman, Isabel Grant. He disarms her, and delivers the baby (not quite in one skillful motion, but almost); however, the trio's troubles are just beginning. Got three hours to burn? One White Rose, the second book of Julie Garwood's trilogy, The Clayborne Brides, is like an old-time Western in the best tradition--a stoic, super-competent hero, a spunky heroine, a kindly old doctor, and the lot. Looming above them all is the villainous rancher Boyle, who not only wants Isabel's land, but her body as well. He and his henchmen have the entire town of Sweet Creek, Montana, peeing all over themselves with fear. Will Douglas and Isabel fall in love? Will Douglas and his gunslinging brothers save the day? What do you think?

From the Publisher

The Claybornes are back -- and love is in bloom! First introduced in Julie Garwood's magnificent New York Times bestseller For the Roses, which inspired the Hallmark Hall of Fame television film "Rose Hill," the Clayborne brothers of Blue Belle, Montana, have been embraced by millions worldwide. Now Julie Garwood spins the individual stories of these three spirited brothers -- once a mismatched gang of street urchins -- in a trio of special novels that continues with One White Rose.

Douglas Clayborne will never turn his back on anyone in need, and everyone in Blue Belle knows it. Time and again, his intolerance of cruelty of any kind has made him a champion of the defenseless...but his quiet strength faces its ultimate battle when he meets Isabel Grant. He arrives at her ranch to pick up the magnificent Arabian stallion he's purchased, but he cannot leave the vulnerable woman behind when he discovers the danger that threatens her. Convincing the stubborn, strong-willed beauty that she needs him is another matter. Douglas can stop the men from stealing her ranch and her horses, but he cannot stop Isabel Grant from stealing his heart.
