Colter's Wife by Joan Johnston

IN A BOLD, DARING BARGAIN SHE MARRIED A STRANGER... AND DISCOVERED NEW DEPTHS OF DESIRE!

It was a shocking alliance indeed - Kinyan Holloway, the proud young widow, and Benjamin Colter, the tall, scarred drifter driven by a dream. Only as a married woman could Kinyan protect her beloved Triple Fork ranch from the violent land-lust of the Territory's most powerful cattle baron. But the hungry, urgent yearning that blazed, fierce and unbidden. between Kinyan and Colter awoke the tortured memories that kept him captive and out of her arms. If their new-found love did not destroy them, a killer's hellfire hatred would - as an old vengeance spiraled murderously out of the distant but all-too-living past!
