Young Man's Darling — Lee Scofield

Trying to escape marriage to an older man, Jesse Mae Banning runs away to the West, but is unprepared for George's dogged pursuit or the determination of handsome cowboy Luke McCarthy to make her his own.

He was everything she didn't want...

Jesse Mae Banning vowed never to be lured into a lifetime of heartache by any sweet-talking, cheeky rascal of a young man. If she married, she would be an old man's darling, a treasure that wouldn't be broken. But with a bully like George Jeter bent on making her his bride, Jesse's only chance to follow her dreams was the fastest train west. She was unprepared, though, for George's dogged pursuit - or cowboy Luke McCarthy's determination to claim her for his own. Forced from the train in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but two ornery bulls for company, Jesse and Luke embarked on an adventure that would test and tempt them beyond reason - for Jesse found herself losing her heart to the kind of man she had sworn to avoid!
