Texas Wedding — Catherine Creel

SHE BELONGED TO HIM BODY AND SOUL --
IF SHE DIDN'T SHOOT HIM FIRST!

Rand Logan had left Claire Parmalee heartbroken and alone on her wedding night -- an abandoned bride whose scandalous, hastily arranged marriage made her the object of cruel scorn and mockery.

After six long years, Rand Logan had come home to claim his bride. Tossed into a storm of longing, hurt, and humiliation, Claire was as angry as a polecat and just as hard to hold. But nothing could chase Rand away now. Not Claire's spitfire defenses, not his mission to bring a man to justice ... and especially not the white-hot desire ignited by the love that had long ago branded them both....
