Book Description
Tates of Texas (#1) Victoria Thompson’s vivid romances have brought pioneer Texas to life with heart-pounding action and lush passion. The first book in the Tates of Texas series, Wild Texas Wind, introduces the Tates—a family that shaped and upheld the legacy of the majestic Lone Star state. After seven years as a Comanche captive, Rebekah Tate has only a faint hope that she’ll ever see her beloved childhood home again. That is, until the day tall and dangerously handsome trader Sean MacDougal strides into camp and proceeds to risk his life rescuing her. Rebekah can only guess his reasons: could he be looking for glory—or a reward from her wealthy father? One thing she does know: no one is more stubborn than this rugged, self-made man. And no one else has a touch that warms her on cool desert nights, and makes her wonder how, together, the two of them might forge a new life out of a harsh and powerful land.

The Great Texas Wind Rush
Author: Kate Galbraith
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292735839
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In the late 1990s, West Texas was full of rundown towns and pumpjacks, aging reminders of the oil rush of an earlier era. Today, the towns are thriving as 300-foot-tall wind turbines tower above those pumpjacks. Wind energy has become Texas’s latest boom, with the Lone Star State now leading the nation. How did this dramatic transformation happen in a place that fights federal environmental policies at every turn? In The Great Texas Wind Rush, environmental reporters Kate Galbraith and Asher Price tell the compelling story of a group of unlikely dreamers and innovators, politicos and profiteers. The tale spans a generation and more, and it begins with the early wind pioneers, precocious idealists who saw opportunity after the 1970s oil crisis. Operating in an economy accustomed to exploiting natural resources and always looking for the next big thing, their ideas eventually led to surprising partnerships between entrepreneurs and environmentalists, as everyone from Enron executives to T. Boone Pickens, as well as Ann Richards, George W. Bush and Rick Perry, ended up backing the new technology. In this down-to-earth account, the authors explain the policies and science that propelled the “windcatters” to reap the great harvest of Texas wind. They also explore what the future holds for this relentless resource that is changing the face of Texas energy.

Now, in Winds of Promise, Thompson continues their fascinating legacy in a gripping story of love against the backdrop of the wild Texas terrain... In the chaos of the Civil War, Sarah Peterson lost her beloved husband and only child, and endured seven years of captivity by the fierce Comanche. Finally freed, she returns to the only home she knows—only to find that she's just as much a prisoner of a cruel and judging society; until an unexpected champion offers her an escape to a place where her past will be unknown, and a new life... as his bride—in name only! A marriage of convenience to the commanding Hunter Tate, and a home on his Texas ranch seems an ideal solution. But now Sarah is torn between the shame she feels for her past and the fire—and longing—that Hunter Tate inspires. What can she offer this ardent, intelligent man? Is it just possible that love can heal—and let two hot-headed people share the promise of this rough and beautiful land—and each other's hearts?
