HE MAY BE HER ONLY HOPE.
SHE MAY BE HIS LAST CHANCE.
Miranda Wentworth never imagined becoming a mail-order bride. Now
marriage to a stranger is her only hope of finding a home where she and
her two younger brothers can escape the brutality of the Chicago
orphanage where they live. With any luck, she can even start a family of
her own, once the three of them are settled at Jacob Creed's Texas
ranch. But Miranda has one gigantic concern: Her husband-to-be knows
nothing about the brothers she's bringing along. What if he calls off
the deal when he discovers the trick she's played on him?
Jake Creed is hanging on to his Texas ranch by his fingernails. His
nemesis, Alexander Blackthorne, is determined to ruin him. Jake will
never give up, but he's in desperate trouble. His wife died six months
ago in childbirth, along with their stillborn son, and his two-year-old
daughter needs a mother. The advertisement Jake wrote never mentioned
his daughter--or the fact that he has no intention of consummating his
marriage. He's determined never to subject another wife to the burden of
pregnancy. But Jake doesn't count on finding his bride so desirable. He
doesn't count on aching with need when she joins him in bed. And he
never suspected his bride would have plans of her own to seduce him.
The passionate Westerns in Joan Johnston's Bitter Creek series can be
enjoyed together or separately, in any order:
