THE SPINSTER

Her only protection is to hide behind her prim, patronizing manner and her acid tongue.

He was a ruthless, conniving scoundrel who'd literally been unstrung from the gallows and paid to bring her back to the one place she'd vowed never to set foot again--home.

Cole had never met a woman he didn't like, nor one he wasn't happy to love. Until now. Sure, Marietta was a little wildcat who drove him crazy with desire, but he wouldn't give her the satisfaction of knowing it. They had a lot of miles to cross on the way back to Texas, with her benefactor's hired gunmen on their trail and a dangerous frontier ahead....]]> Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:56:36 +0200 The Countess Misbehaves https://memoir.library.land/nan-ryan/500932-the_countess_misbehaves.html https://memoir.library.land/nan-ryan/500932-the_countess_misbehaves.html The Countess Misbehaves
