Outlaw Heart — Vickie McDonough

Can such a lovely lady really be an outlaw? Deputy Marshal Brett Wickham is ready to retire from law enforcement and settle down on the ranch left to him and his younger brother, Taylor. But when Taylor is killed in a bank robbery, Brett pins his badge back on and goes hunting for the Salinger gang. Then a bear attack lands him right in the middle of the outlaws' hideout and leaves him badly wounded and defenseless. Anna McFarland, aka Lottie Sallinger, tends Brett's wounds. She seems too sweet and innocent to be an outlaw. But looks can be deceiving. When his heart is drawn to Lottie, Brett fights the attraction. Can he do his job when everything within him wants Lottie to be innocent?
