Zane — Margery Scott

THIS IS A SWEET HISTORICAL WESTERN ROMANCE NOVELLA, APPROXIMATELY 17,000 WORDS

The west is a dangerous place, especially for a lawman. Zane Morgan, sheriff of Rocky Ridge, Colorado has accepted this and has resigned himself to being alone. He won't ask a woman to share his life when the odds of him living long enough to raise a family are slim.

Priscilla Rowan is on the run. Pregnant and fleeing her preacher ex-husband, she's on her way to California when nature ruins her plans and her child decides to be born sooner than expected. Although she doesn't trust any man, she has no choice but to accept Zane's help and protection until she can move on.

As Zane and Priscilla grow closer, Zane discovers protecting her becomes much more than his duty. But when the threat is eliminated, can he convince her to stay without giving up who he is?
