The Coming Home Place — Mary Spencer

SHE HAD NOTHING TO OFFER BUT HER LOVE
Elizabeth Beck had lost everyone she loved during the arduous journey from Tennessee to California. So when a handsome, blond stranger rescued her from outlaws, she was almost too frightened and dazed to notice her pulse quicken at his touch. Not wanting to be a burden, Elizabeth planned to say good bye when they were safe--until he made an outrageous proposition.

HE PROMISED HER EVERYTHING BUT HIS HEART
James Kagan, a wealthy California rancher, had closed his heart to love after his childhood sweetheart died in a train crash. But when he saw the young, quietly beautiful Elizabeth, he sought to ease his loneliness. And though the past threatened to force them apart, the two independent souls discovered that the only place they truly belonged was in each other's arms.
