The Cowboy's Outlaw Bride — Cora Seton

Coopers: 1, Turners 0.

Noah Turner's losing a war with his heart -- and a war with his neighbors. Competing with the Coopers for the Founder's Prize -- and the Ridley property, the prime ranch land it confers -- has pitted him against the woman of his dreams. The one woman he's not supposed to love: Olivia Cooper.

Olivia knows loving Noah is all wrong. His family has been nothing but trouble for the Coopers. Now a drought has struck Chance Creek, and without the water rights they'll gain from the Ridley property, her family is bound to lose their ranch.

It's Turners vs. Coopers -- and all is fair in love and war.
