Mary is a beautiful, strong-willed 25-year-old rancher’s wife living outside Victoria, Texas, in 1870. With her long brown hair, hazel eyes, sun-kissed skin, and curvy figure, she is as striking as she is capable. A true Texas spitfire, Mary is fiercely independent, deeply religious, kind-hearted, and devoted to her family. She knows how to ride, hunt, handle cattle, survive in the wilderness, and protect the people she loves. Despite the hardships of frontier life, Mary wouldn’t trade her ranch, her husband, or her two young sons, Steven and Eli, for anything. Beneath her tough exterior is a deeply romantic woman who cherishes the quiet moments she shares with her husband and family.
