Percy's Unexpected Bride — Kit Morgan

Percival Blue, badgered by his family for years to change his ways, finally, FINALLY, began to see the light. But for all the effort he put into mending his ways, he couldn't get rid of a wandering spirit brought on by spending time with his brother-in-law Bart Dalton and his wife Bonnie, Percy's sister, who more often than not, liked to go on excursions of their own. Which begged the question, should Percy wander as far as California to see if he could find his place in the world? After all, he had nothing in Texas that could keep him from going … Adele Brown was always considered a nice girl, and bad things didn't happen to nice girls, right? Unfortunately, “bad” found her, and chased her through the streets of Beckham, Massachusetts one night, and only because she'd been kidnapped, and then escaped! Fleeing to the one person who might help, she soon found herself on a train bound for Texas and the one man who could protect her from the evil that tried to claim her. The only problem was, he didn't want anything to do with her. How was she going to survive without Percival Blue's protection? Fortunately for her, he gave it, in name only, on a marriage certificate. The rest was up to her. How was she to convince him they could be more than a couple of names on a piece of paper before he insisted they get an annulment? With the help of his family, she was about to find out.
