Maclain's Wife — Jill Henry

Pretty Polly Brown, the trouser-wearing daughter of an outlaw, had her six guns-and her freedom. Life would be perfect if she weren't on the run from Bart Dixon, the notorious gunslinger who'd sworn to kill her. When she stepped off the stagecoach in Montana Territory dressed as a fine city woman, Polly knew she could fool Dixon. Was it her fault that the handsome sheriff of Indian Trails mistook her for the mail-order bride he'd been expecting? Sheriff Ben MacLain quickly realized Polly was both an impostor and a woman with something to hide. But after she formed an instant bond with his motherless daughter, Emily, he decided to let her stay. He never counted on the feelings this irrepressible and mischievous gal would inspire in him. Just as Polly never reckoned on facing something even more threatening than the past she'd tried to escape, the dangerous desire for love.
