The Courtship — Anna De Forest

THE FALLEN WOMAN
Sacrificing her reputation so that she could provide a home for her two orphaned nephews, Miranda Kilpatrick took over the saloon she inherited from her uncle. Deciding long-ago that marriage wasn't for her, Miranda didn't care if Tobias Johnston, the handsome new schoolmaster, believed the townsfolk's lies about her being a "scarlet" woman. But when Miranda saw kindness, humor, and something thrilling in Tobias's gray eyes, her vow never to trust her heart to love was quickly weakening...
THE REFORMED OUTLAW
Behind the somber gray suit and gold spectacles of Tobias Johnston beat the heart of a man with a dangerous past. Not long ago, he'd come close to death's door, and wished in that moment he'd lived differently. But Tobias got his second chance. Now the notorious gunman has come to Pine Creek, Colorado to trade his Winchester for Shakespeare and a life of propriety. Unfortunately, he's falling head over heels for the spirited, fiery redhead who's captivated his senses like no other woman ever has. As sweet romance eases lingering doubts, Tobias's violent past returns to threaten Miranda, forcing the reformed gunslinger to break his most solemn oath...and pick up a gun to protect the woman he loves.
