Wings of the Hawk

...here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "From the producer of the Wagons West series -- the moving saga that began with "the Hawk and the Dove" now blazes across the great southwest. John Cooper Baines -- The Hawk -- comes of age. Strong and bold, his restless spirit drives him to challenge the vast unconquered wilderness of Texas and New Mexico. But when destiny lures him into bloody feuds with Mexico's outlaw barons, the young American is forced to choose between protecting his pregnant wife or battling for his country's freedom. Swept up by the seething currents of a lawless era, John Cooper Baines charts a daring course for a generation of bold adventurers -- the iron-hard men and fiery women who forged a new world from the savage frontier."
