Big Sky Rancher — Carolyn Davidson

Lucas O'Reilly did things his way...and as founder and mayor of Thunder Canyon, he answered to no one -- and liked it that way. Except lately, now that he owned one of the bigger spreads, and richer mines, under the wide Montana sky, he'd been thinking a wife would be nice. Maybe an agreeable little woman to brighten his house -- and warm his bed.
