The Texan — Carolyn Davidson

U.S. Marshal Jonathan Cleary was a man with a plan:

After one last undercover assignment, he'd claim a corner of the wide Texas sky and get hitched to the wild and carefree woman of his dreams. But Fate, disguised as Augusta McBride, came calling with different ideas. Now his dream woman was a prim-and-proper miss...with shocking secrets!

Augusta McBride was wedded to spinsterhood.

Yet she'd somehow landed in front of a preacher, marrying a half-naked stranger -- and relishing it! No doubt about it, the mysterious, marvelous Jonathan Cleary was a force of nature who couldn't be denied!
