A
newspaper ad is the desperately needed answer to Kate Whittington’s
prayers. Abandoned by her mother—the town tramp, raised in a bleak Maine
orphanage, and a spinster without prospects, Kate dreams of a home and
family of her own. Unfortunately, when she arrives to begin her new
life, the man she believes she married by proxy denies placing the ad.
He denies ever corresponding with or marrying her. Worse, he’s a Texas
Ranger who’s recently been wounded while rescuing a boy from the
Comanche—a boy he believes may be his long lost son.

Reed
Benton doesn’t want a wife, doesn’t believe Kate’s story of an ad and
letters, but he does need help taming the wild, resentful young boy
under his roof—a boy who is a painful reminder of a past filled with
betrayal and lies. There is no place in Reed Benton’s heart for a woman.
