Outlaw's Bride — Joan Johnston

SHE WAS THE TOMBOY TEASE HE REMEMBERED AS A KID...

When the gorgeous blonde sashayed into Oakville, Ethan Hawk was a goner -- until she told him her name: Patch Kendrick. The brat he remembered from Fort Benton, Montana was now a luscious lady hunting for her man: him! Nothing, not even his outlaw past would keep her off his trail. Ethan Hawk couldn't afford the luxury of love. Not with the law -- and a vengeful enemy -- hot on his tracks.

NOW A BEWITCHING BEAUTY DETERMINED TO LASSO HIS HEART...

Patch Kendrick always knew Ethan Hawk was the man for her -- even as he galloped out of her childhood with a price on his head and nary a backward glance. Now that she's found him again, she was armed and ready for love. But before Ethan could yield his heart, he had to clear his name. So Patch set out to find the villain who framed him -- and ambushed her lifelong dream...
