The Rogue's Bride — Lynn Winchester

Guilty of a terrible crime and dogged by a sense of obligation he can't shake, Gaston Mosier hopes to find a little peace by getting himself hitched. Maybe his new wife can help him feel human again. Aimee Prentice is seeking a life far away from the trouble she left behind, and becoming a mail-order bride is the only way out of a bad situation. So, when she arrives in Dry Bayou to marry the mysterious man from the ad, she's surprised to find a man more handsome than she ever imagined. And more troubled. Gaston only wanted to marry a quiet, simple woman, someone who could keep him company and bear his children. He didn't expect to find outspoken, startlingly beautiful Aimee waiting for him at the stagecoach station. What's Gaston to do with a bride who riles him as no one ever has? What's Aimee to do about a groom who is more cold shoulder than warm welcome? One seeks redemption, the other seeks protection, so what happens when trouble finds them both?
