PART OF YOUR WORLD by Karen Witemeyer, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

ONCE UPON A TIME IN TEXAS Book Two

 REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"I found you."

When Muriel Quinn dove into her beloved ocean to rescue a stranger, she never imagined that her heart would bond so securely with a man whom she had never met. The problem was, she had no idea who he was, even after pulling him ashore, coaxing his lungs into breathing again, and then scrambling out of sight for propriety's sake. My goodness! What proper young woman would be caught wearing such a form fitting bathing costume?

Determined to find the handsome stranger, Muriel soon discovers that Zane Erickson is the son of a powerful, wealthy businessman, prompting her to make a decision that comes back to haunt her. She aligns herself with a scheming matchmaker whose terms entangle both Muriel and Zane into a dangerous web of deceit. Thankfully Zane is just as anxious to become acquainted with the mysterious red haired beauty who sang him out of the sea, but it may not be enough to save them.

This imaginative Texas based fairy tale re-telling was an absolute delight to read!

BackCover Blurb:
She saved him from the sea. He awakened her heart. Now a villainous scheme threatens to destroy them both.

Seawater runs through Muriel Quinn’s veins—a fact that has long concerned her father, who desires his youngest daughter to abandon the waves and embrace the respectable life expected of a grown woman. Yet even when banished from her beloved sea, Muriel feels its pull upon her soul. Drawn to the shore, she witnesses a boating accident and dives in to save a man from drowning. As she brings him back from the brink of death, a dream stirs to life in her heart.

Despite his family's wealth and social standing, Zane Erickson pursues a career in architecture, having no interest in cementing a match with any of the bridal candidates his mother foists upon him. Until a mysterious beauty saves his life and vanishes before he can learn her name. Determined to find her, he is stunned when the matchmaker his mother hired arrives with the very woman who has haunted his dreams. But he soon learns there are darker forces than romance at work in this meeting.

Entangled in a blackmail scheme that grows more deceitful and dangerous by the day, Zane and Muriel must fight not only for their love, but for the lives of those they hold dear.
