The Agreement
Description
Secret Fires
In the midst of the vast, windswept Texas plains stood a ranch wrested from the wilderness with blood, sweat and tears. It was the shining leagcy of Thomas McBride to his five living heirs. But along with the fertile acres and herds of cattle, each would inherit a history of scandal, lies and hidden lust that threatened to burn out of control.
The Agreement
Lauren McBride had left the Circle M as a confused, lonely girl of fifteen. She returned a woman--beautiful, confident, certain of her own mind. And the last thing she would tolerate was a marriage of convenience, arranged by her pa to right past wrongs. Garret Lassiter had broken her heart once before. Now only a declaration of everlasting love would convince her to become his bride.

Person
Evelyn Gee was born in 1939 in Texas, USA. She makes her home in San Antonio.
She writes her novels as Constance O'Banyon. She also wrote as Micah Leigh with the late Texan writer Emma Merritt. Her books range from historical to contemporary and include several novellas. Many of her books have been published in trade paperback. Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are over ten million copies of her books in print.
She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling -- it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air."
