Zane Brody is determined to remain a bachelor although his friends from the Lynch Ranch have married and love their spouses. He envies what they share, but he doesn't know how to love a wife himself. His good looks and charm keep him in high regard with the ladies, but his practical jokes tend to land him in trouble on a regular basis. When asked to travel to New York to get a horse, Zane feels this is his chance to prove he is more than just a ranch hand. How hard can it be?

It's been two years since the death of Mary Dunleavy's husband. It is time for her to get on with her life, so accepting a teaching job in Laramie, Wyoming, should help do just that, even though she will miss her brother.

Zane and Mary's first few meetings would not be considered pleasant. When they discover they're headed to the same place, it seems to make things worse. Both are attracted to each other, but are in denial. Besides, Zane was told before he left the ranch that he was to keep his hands off the new teacher when she arrived. But as the trip from New York to Wyoming goes from bad to worse, Zane and Mary can't help falling in love, something neither expected nor wanted.

WHIRLWIND is an exciting addition to Mrs. Holby's Wind saga. This story keeps you reading with never a dull moment. It's full of action and adventure and, unfortunately, mostly at Zane's expense. If you haven't read the Wind books, I suggest you do so; you won't be disappointed.
