York, the Renegade by Iris Johansen

Heirs to a great dynasty, the Delaney brothers were united by blood, united by devotion to their rugged land ... and known far and wide as THE SHAMROCK TRINITY. Powerful men... rakes and charmers... they needed only love to make their lives complete.

Some men were made to fight dragons, Sierra Smith thought when she met York Delaney. The rebel brother had roamed the world for years before calling the wild, rough mining town of Hell's Bluff home. York gazed at her with barely leashed violence before taking her in his arms, but the spirited young woman who d penetrated his renegade's paradise had awakened a savage and tender possessiveness he'd never suspected in himself. Sierra had known loneliness and isolation too--enough to realize that York's restlessness had everything to do with finding out where he belonged. Could she convince him that love was a place, that the refuge he'd always sought was in her arms?
