From Wine to Water
All Tyrell Fannin and his cousins Isaac and Micah Burnet want is to get out of a Texas jail and go home to Mississippi.
Delia Lavalle didn’t need three outlaws to escort her and her sisters to Louisiana but she doesn’t really have a choice.
The outlaws aren’t happy about escorting nuns, but figure they might bring them luck, because not even Santa Anna would harm a holy woman. A week into the trip, however, the outlaws find that the nuns are sisters—but not of the cloth—and that their tempers would make an angel’s wings shrivel up and fall off.
Tyrell is determined to finish his job and forget all about Delia’s piercing blue eyes, that tumble of black hair, and her hot temper. Delia can’t wait to be away from Tyrell’s constant judgment, but along the way she finds herself drawn to him.
Will they get what they want—safe travels home—or will fate intervene and bring them something altogether different?
Editorial reviews
"Tyrell, Isaac, and Micah are cousins falsely imprisoned in a San Antonio jail when the sheriff offers them a deal they can't refuse, to escort three sisters home to Louisiana on their way home to Mississippi. And he'll not only release them but pay them well. Delia, Fairlee and Tempest aren't nuns, however, and their high spirits and unconventional upbringing under Captain Lavalle cause difficulties for the traditional, honorable men charged with their safety as they traverse Texas lands held by Santa Anna or by Comanche and Cherokee tribes. Brown's newest historical romance is set in the fascinating, if violent, era just before the Alamo's fall, and her protagonists exhibit the sass and grit readers enjoy. The first installment in Brown's Angels [&] Outlaws series, this tale offers an intriguing look at the agrarian Deep South in its halcyon days." —Booklist
"From Wine to Water is a tender love story set in a time of war. I found the story line engrossing and found the book moved along and was over before I knew it. Ms. Brown is a talented writer who writes with a voice able to lull the reader and provide a tender, or not so tender, love story. I recommend From Wine to Water for the heart and soul provided with each word." —Coffee Time Romance
"From Wine to Water is a delightful, quick read filled with plenty of adventure and romance. The three sisters are brave, innovative, and very cheeky. Tyrell and his cousins spend much of the trip bemused by the behavior of the girls, but are impressed by the fact that their charges are as capable as they are… I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the main characters. Nicely written and well researched, From Wine to Water is a really fun read." —Romance Reviews Today
